*Total cook time varies by grill model. See instructions above for details.
To turn these into appetizers by using smaller skewers. Only add 1-2 chicken pieces per skewer and grill.
One of my favorite ways to enjoy the full size skewers is on a bed of spaghetti. Make an extra batch of the marinade and set it aside. Cook a half of a box of spaghetti, drain it, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
Return the pasta to the pot over medium heat. Toss it in the extra marinade and 1/2 cup pasta water. Cook for 3-5 minutes. Add a pat of butter, 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese and salt to taste.
Divide the pasta onto two plates and top with two skewers.
