  3. Skewer the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, brush lightly with canola oil, and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium heat (350°F to 400°F).
  5. Cook the chicken skewers on the grill for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Brush with reserved marinade in the last 1-2 minutes of grilling.
  6. Let the kabobs rest for a few minutes before serving, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds.
