5Preheat the grill or broiler.

6Arrange the skewers of chicken on the grill or under the broiler,* careful that the bare ends of the skewers are not directly over (or under) the flame. Grill the chicken until golden brown, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on each side.

PRESENTATION

Pour the vinaigrette into a small serving bowl. Arrange the skewers around the bowl and serve immediately. Let your guests help themselves.

TO PREPARE AHEAD

Through step 4, remove the chicken and the vinaigrette from the refrigerator 15 minutes before grilling.

*Bring your broiler tray directly under the flame for best results.
