Notes

For even more flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. Use a mix of chicken breast and thigh for juicier skewers. You can also add vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or zucchini to the skewers for extra color and nutrition. If grilling outside isn’t an option, you can cook these skewers in the oven or on a grill pan. Customize the cowboy butter by adding different spices or herbs based on your taste, such as chili powder or rosemary. For a spicy kick, add some red pepper flakes to the marinade or the cowboy butter.
