For optimal flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 24 hours. Soaking the wooden skewers prevents them from burning on the grill. Serve with steamed rice and a side of your favorite Asian-inspired vegetables for a complete meal. If you don't have a grill, you can bake the skewers in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes, or until cooked through. Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking for a sweeter or less sweet marinade.
