Notes

  • Soak wooden skewers 30 minutes before cooking to prevent burning.
  • Marinate longer for more flavor and tender chicken.
  • Customize with pineapple, mango, or different vegetables.
  • Serve with sauces like peri-peri, yogurt dip, or extra chutney for added flavor.Chicken Sosaties Recipe
