Common Questions

Can I use frozen chicken?

Fresh is recommended, but if using frozen, ensure it’s fully thawed before marinating.

Can I add more vegetables?

Absolutely! Bell peppers, zucchini, or mushrooms work great.

What's the best way to soak wooden skewers?

Soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent burning.
