• Prepare a gas or charcoal grill to medium heat (350F to 375F). Thread the chicken pieces on wooden skewers that have been soaked in water for about an hour so they don't catch fire on the grill (or use metal skewers).
• Grill chicken kebabs on greased grates about 10 to 15 minutes or until done, turning several times while cooking. These can also be prepared on an indoor grill, under a broiler or in the oven. Serve with the mujjdei de usturoi sauce.
