These chicken skewers were a bit of a disappointment. The chicken was dry and the avocado sauce was bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These chicken skewers were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just because I didn't adjust the amount of chili powder in the marinade. Other than that, they were delicious!

These chicken skewers were a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's just because I didn't measure the salt carefully. Other than that, they were delicious!
