Notes
Do not overcrowd the skewers so the chicken cooks evenly.
Adjust the hot sauce and red pepper flakes depending on your spice preference.
Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
Chicken breasts can be substituted for chicken tenders by cutting them into chunks.
These skewers can also be baked in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 to 20 minutes.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
