Marinate the Chicken
Cut the boneless, skinless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for better flavor.

Prepare the Skewers
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. After marinating, thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers, packing them closely but not too tight.

Grill the Skewers
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the chicken skewers on the grill. Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
