Honduran Chicken Skewers

I was really surprised how good this simple marinade is on chicken. A couple tbsp of the marinade mixed into mayonnaise also makes a great dipping sauce for the skewers. The chicken skewers only takes 5-6 minutes a side under your broiler. You can even throw these on the grill for the same amount of time. Try marinating chicken pieces or even a whole chicken with the marinade, then either grill or roast them.
