# Steps:

Thread the seasoned chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers, leaving small gaps between pieces for even cooking.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates to prevent sticking.

# Tips:

For optimal flavor, allow the chicken to marinate in Cajun seasoning for at least 30 minutes before threading onto skewers.

Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best results in the sauce.
