These skewers were a disaster! The chicken was dry and overcooked, and the marinade was too salty.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices to the marinade and it turned out much better.

These skewers were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I'll definitely be making them again, but I'll use less cayenne pepper next time.

I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I substituted parsley in this recipe. It turned out great!

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made a batch of these skewers with some leftover roasted chicken and they were delicious.

These skewers are perfect for a summer cookout. They're easy to make and can be cooked on the grill or in the oven.

I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts for this recipe and they turned out great. I also added a bit of honey to the marinade to give it a little sweetness.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but these skewers were just the right amount of heat. The marinade was also very flavorful.

These chicken skewers were a hit at my last party! The marinade was flavorful and the chicken was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making these again.
