For best results, marinate the chicken for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to fully penetrate. Longer marinating times (up to 4 hours) will result in even more flavorful and tender chicken. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning. Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preference and what's in season. Other great additions include mushrooms, yellow bell peppers, and pineapple chunks. To add a touch of heat, incorporate a pinch of chili flakes or a finely chopped jalapeño into the marinade. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
