any tips for prepping the wooden skewers?
Soaking the wooden skewers in water for about 15-20min will allow the water to penetrate into the wood, and reducing the chance of the skewers getting burned. Also, watch out for splinters in the bamboo skewers!!
what kind of chicken meat should i use?
Any chicken part is fine to use with this recipe. I personally like the thighs since they tend have more moisture in them.
what kind of pan do you recommend?
I recommend using the non-stick griddle style pan, the ones with ridges. This type of pan was perfect since my meat didn’t stick and also gave it a nice bbq look about them. I didn’t have to worry too much splattering since the fat dripping was taken care of by the ridges. Easy clean up and easy cooking.
