Notes

  • To prep the chicken, simply toss the chicken thighs or cut up chicken breasts in peanut oil, then roll them in the mixed spices in a bowl.
  • Make sure to cover the chicken with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least thirty minutes.
  • Once the chicken is nice and marinated, thread it onto skewers and grill, either on a grill pan over medium high heat or on grill grates outside. They should only take a couple of minutes each side.
  • If you don't have an outdoor grill or grill pan, you can bake them in the oven!
