Notes
Yellow rice recipe.
You can use chicken thighs or breast! Cook the same either way, chicken breast are slightly healthier.
Feel free to customize the marinade to your liking, add red pepper flakes for more spice, or some dijon mustard for a nice tang.
We prefer metal skewers that are washable and reusable, they also do not need to be soaked. These OXO skewers work great! Tip: wrap the handle side with aluminum foil to keep from discoloring over time.
