    Prepare the chicken: Cut the chicken lengthwise into 1/4" strips, and thread each piece lengthwise onto a skewer and place in a large shallow bowl Pour the marinade over the chicken, coating the chicken well, and cover and chill for approximately one hour.

    Grill the chicken with the marinade clinging to it on an oiled rack set 5-6 inches over glowing coals for 1-1/2 minute per side, or until chicken is cooked through If you don't have a grill, you may broil in your oven.
