Soak 6 long wooden skewers in cold water for 30 minutes. 2. Lift several pieces of the chicken at a time from the marinade and squeeze them over the bowl to drain the extra marinade. 3. Skewer the chicken, leaving 1/4 inch between the pieces to allow all sides of the chicken to cook evenly. 4. Season the chicken lightly with salt and pepper. 5. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. 6. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 2 to 3 minutes without moving them, to mark the chicken. 7. Turn the skewers 90 degrees to mark with a crosshatch pattern and grill for another 1 minute. The marks should be well browned but not burnt. 8. Turn the skewers over and cook for about 2 minutes to finish cooking the chicken. 9. Carefully remove the chicken from the skewers and place in a bowl. 10. Toss with a light coating of the vinaigrette, and serve the extra vinaigrette on the side.
