- Chicken should be marinated for min of one hour. You can marinate overnight for good results.
- Line the baking tray with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 225°C for 20 mins.
- Arrange the chicken and vegetables in skewers alternatively and bake in the same temperature for 20 to 25 minutes till chicken is nicely grilled. Flip the chicken once in ten minutes to cook evenly.
- Brush it with butter five minutes before taking out of oven for nice glaze and flavor.
Notes
Baking time will vary depending on size of chicken pieces and oven.
If you are marinating chicken overnight add the vegetables to marination one hour before grilling as onions will leave water if marinated longer.
You can cook them on stove top in a pan also if you don't have oven.
