- 36 to 40 (6-inch) wooden skewers
- Combine everything except chicken and skewers in a large nonreactive bowl and whisk to combine.
- Add chicken strips and toss to coat.
- Cover and marinate at least 45 minutes and up to 4 hours.
- When ready to cook, heat oven to 425 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle.
- Remove chicken from marinade (reserving marinade) and thread 1 piece of chicken on each skewer.
- Heat the reserved marinade to boiling and boil for 3 minutes.
- Cool a bit before using.
