- Vegetable oil spray
- 9 to 10 bamboo skewers, soaked in water and dried
- Put the chicken cubes in a mixing bowl with the marinade. Mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Heat the grill to medium high. While the grill is heating, Spray the upper portions of the bamboo skewers with vegetable oil spray to prevent the cooked chicken from sticky. Lace the zucchini alternating with chicken cubes to about ½ the length of the bamboo skewer. Finish with the remaining onion and chicken cubes.
