Add chicken and onion

Add the chicken pieces and grated onion to the marinade, mixing well.

Chill

Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

Preparing the Skewers

Soak skewers

Soak wooden skewers in water to prevent burning if using.

Thread chicken

Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving some space between each piece.

Preheat grill

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Ensure the grill is well-oiled to prevent sticking. For extra flavor, brush the skewers with leftover marinade before grilling.

Cooking Process

Grilling

Place skewers on the grill, turning occasionally to cook evenly.

Checking Doneness

Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

Resting

Allow the skewers to rest for 5 minutes after removing from the grill.
