Pinchos de Pollo
A few weeks ago I made Pinchos de Cerdo: Puerto Rican pork skewers. This is the same recipe, but with chicken. You can use either breast or thigh. That is your call. The skewers can be grilled or broiled. They will take 3 minutes a side before basting them with bbq sauce, then cooking for another 2 minutes per side.
