Marinate the Chicken
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Toss to coat the chicken evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.

Prepare the Skewers
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
