  2. Prepare the skewers: If using bamboo skewers, soak for 1 hour in boiling water. Thread the chicken onto skewers and set aside.

How long to cook chicken skewers

These skewers should cook within 10-15 minutes, depending on the heat used or the size of the chunks of chicken. Chicken is cooked when it reaches 73ºC/165ºF or is opaque throughout.

Can I make these ahead?

Yes, the skewers can be made up to 2 days ahead and kept covered in the fridge. They can also be marinated and frozen for up to 3 months.
