Step 2

Thread 2 or 3 chicken pieces onto each skewer. Pour the remaining 1 tbsp oil into a skillet or rub it onto a grill pan, and heat the pan over high heat until very hot. Sear the skewers for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until charred and the chicken reads 165°F inside. Cook in batches if needed, keeping the cooked skewers warm in a low oven.

Step 3

Serve with smoky aïoli if desired.
