The secret to making the best chicken kabobs is the seasonings. You have to glaze them two times while baking to make them moist and flavorful. You can use metal or wooden skewers for this recipe. If you choose to use the wooden ones, make sure to soak them in water for 30 minutes before using. This will keep them from burning in the oven or grill.

If you want the smoky flavor, cook the chicken kabobs on the grill. Serve with potato salad, corn salad, pasta salad, or rice for a complete dinner meal.
