Yes, this recipe is indeed make-ahead-friendly. You can marinate the chicken up to a day ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This makes this recipe a great way to save time the next day when you’re ready to cook. Do NOT thread the chicken on the skewers ahead of time, as the chicken will leak juices from the skewering and dry out. Skewering has to be done right before cooking.
