Chef’s Insight

Use wooden skewers for an eco-friendly option or metal skewers for easier handling and durability. - To infuse more herbal flavors into the sweet potatoes, try using fresh herbs instead of dried ones in the seasoning mix.

Notes

Ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for food safety. - You can adjust the seasoning mix to your preferred taste, adding more spices or herbs as desired.

Cultural or Historical Background

German cuisine has been influenced by various regions and cultures throughout history, including Roman, French, and Eastern European culinary traditions. - The use of skewers in cooking dates back to ancient times when they were used for grilling meats over open fires.
