Chicken skewers in ginger-citrus marinade - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, chicken thighs can be used as a substitute for chicken breasts. They are juicier and have more flavor, but you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly as they are thicker.
You can substitute 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger for fresh ginger, though the flavor will be slightly different. Alternatively, ginger paste can also be used in the same quantity as fresh ginger.
The marinated chicken can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. For best results, do not exceed this time as the acidity from the citrus may start to break down the meat.
Yes, you can substitute the chicken with tofu or tempeh for a vegetarian version. Use the same marinade and adjust the grilling time as needed.
These skewers pair well with quinoa, couscous, or a fresh green salad. Grilled vegetables or a yogurt-based dip also make great accompaniments.
Yes, you can freeze the marinated chicken in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before grilling.
Skip the rice and serve the skewers with cauliflower rice or a side of roasted low-carb vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, or asparagus.
Yes, metal skewers can be used instead of wooden ones. If using wooden skewers, remember to soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
To keep the chicken moist, avoid overcooking and baste the skewers with leftover marinade while grilling. Cook just until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
