How long to cook chicken kabobs in the oven
Cooking time will vary based on the thickness of your chicken. If you cut them about 1 inch thick like we did, total cook time will be about 12 minutes. We would recommend making sure not to cut your chicken too thickly and to distribute the pieces of chicken on the skewers evenly so that the chicken cooks evenly and to avoid any pieces of chicken that are too dry or undercooked.
