*Storage times may vary based on temperature and conditions
Notes
*Some people don't like marinating their chicken/veggies together, so feel free to do so separately - just split the marinade in half. *Don't marinate longer than 4 hours, because the acid really starts to break the chicken down. **If using bamboo skewers, make sure to soak them for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
