- Cook the skewers over medium heat. Cook the skewers over medium heat until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Be careful not to overcook the chicken, or it will become dry and tough.
- Serve the skewers with a dipping sauce. Serve the skewers with a dipping sauce of your choice. Some popular dipping sauces for chicken skewers include peanut sauce, hoisin sauce, and sweet and sour sauce.
