Don't overcrowd the skewers: When you're threading the chicken onto the skewers, make sure to leave some space between each piece so that the chicken cooks evenly.
Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat will help to prevent it from drying out.
Brush the chicken with BBQ sauce: Brush the chicken with BBQ sauce a few times during cooking to keep it moist and flavorful.
Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or salad.
