- Let this warm up to a boil, then whisk in the ketchup, 1/4 cup water, and cornstarch.
- Pour 1/4 cup of the sauce into a small bowl and reserve the rest.
- Brush the 1/4 cup sauce over the chicken and let sit for about 20 minutes.
- While it is sitting, warm the grill up to medium-high heat, 400°F.
- Place the skewers on the grill and cook on both sides for about 10-15 minutes, when rotating them add additional sauce. The internal temperature should reach at least 165°F before serving.
- Let chicken rest 5 minutes, then serve.
Notes
