Skewering:

Grilling:
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Lightly grease the grill grid with vegetable spray to prevent sticking.
- Carefully place the skewers on the grill and cook until the chicken is fully cooked through, turning occasionally for even cooking. This typically takes about 8-10 minutes.
