Notes:

• You can marinate the chicken previous night itself and keep it in the refrigerator.
• Make sure that the baking tray has enough depth and keep the skewers on the rim of the tray so that the chicken doesn't touch the tray.
• If you're using bamboo skewers, soak them in the water for 20 mins before baking to ensure that it doesn't get caught fire while baking.
• Lining the tray with foil/parchment paper to capture the dripping and also it helps to clean the tray easily.
• Cooking at high temperature helps to retain the moisture.
• Instead of oven cooking, it can be grilled or pan fried too.
