Tips:
- Use a variety of spices to create a flavorful marinade. The recipe suggests a blend of paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and turmeric, but you can also use other spices that you like, such as chili powder, coriander, or ginger.
- Be sure to let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help the flavors to penetrate the chicken and make it more tender.
- If you don't have wooden skewers, you can use metal skewers or even toothpicks. Just be sure to soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using, to prevent them from burning.
- Baste the chicken skewers with the remaining marinade while they are cooking. This will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
- Serve the chicken skewers with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include tzatziki sauce, hummus, or tahini sauce.

Spiced Skewered Chicken, or Chicken Sosaties, is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or party. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful blend of spices and then grilled to perfection. Serve the chicken skewers with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
