Then, Place the chicken shish kebabs on a baking sheet lined with foil. Preheat the barbecue or oven (grill) to medium high heat. Grill the chicken shish kababs for about 8-10 minutes or grill the kebabs until golden brown. Dont forget to turn the skewers occasionally, so that all sides of kababs are cooked equally. Then, put cooked skewers onto a serving dish. Serve hot. (It is optional: you may serve your cooked skewers over rice (Turkish pilaf) or cracked wheat pilaf (Turkish Bulgur pilaf).
