    Cut the meat into cubes, about 1 inch square.Add them to the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate. Best if done overnight, but 8 hours is better than nothing!

    When ready to grill, skewer the chicken. Grill until done, turning so it doesn't burn. Best on grill, but can be done on an oiled sheet pan in the oven, too.
