Let sit for at least 30 minutes but no more than 3 hours. The acids in the citrus cans start to cook the meat if you let marinade for too long.
If you want to make a sauce from the marinade, please see important notes below.
Assembling Skewers
Thread the marinaded chicken pieces onto the skewers with the marinated onions and veggies of your choice. Alternating as you go.
Discard the marinade
Grill
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. You can place the skewers on direct heat if you want a char but only for a minute on each side and then cook with indirect heat as you want to make sure that your chicken is cooked through. With an internal temperature of 165°

Actually, anything that sounds good to you from the garden works!If you want to prepare a sauce to serve with your kabobs, double the recipe and transfer half of the marinade to a small cooking pot, and simmer on medium heat. Add 1 tsp. of corn starch and whisk into the sauce to thicken. It is very important that you do this before you put the chicken into the entire marinade. Once the raw chicken has been in the marinade, it is no longer safe for consumption.
