Step 2: Skewering the Chicken

2. Grill the Skewers

   • Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally for even cooking.
   • Brush with butter as needed to keep the chicken moist and add flavor.

3. Check for Doneness

   • The chicken should be cooked through and have a nice char. Ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Once your Chicken Tikka Malai Boti is ready, it’s time to serve.
