If you don’t have a barbecue?
No need to worry if you don’t have a barbecue at your disposal. These skewers can easily be cooked in a frying pan. To do this, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a pan. Once the oil is hot (but not smoking), place the skewers in the pan, spacing them out slightly to ensure even cooking. Brown them on each side for about 2 minutes per side until they are nicely colored on the outside. Once all sides are browned, reduce the heat slightly and cover the pan to cook the inside without burning the outside. Let them cook for another 5 to 8 minutes, turning them regularly. The chicken should be firm, white throughout, and juicy. Make sure there is no pink inside. Now, they’re ready to enjoy!
