Skewer the chicken
Thread the chicken onto each skewer, piercing through each strip twice to secure it. Slide the chicken up or down the skewer so it is evenly distributed with no very thick or very thin sections.
6 wooden skewers
June Pan
Position the skewers
With tongs, place the 6 skewers across the hot grill from right to left, leaving a little space between each skewer for air to circulate. Close the door. Grill the skewers 6 minutes. June will notify you when it is time to flip the skewers. When the June Oven stops cooking, press "Done" within the app or the check mark on the June Oven to continue.

Flip the skewers
Open the door. Working carefully, use tongs to flip each skewer, gripping from the center of each skewer to get a firm grasp and prevent chicken from sticking. Close the door.
Finish grilling the skewers
Grill the skewers 5 minutes longer, until they are cooked through.
Garnish and serve
Using tongs, transfer the skewers from the grill to the parchment-lined June Pan. Sprinkle the skewers with the additional sesame seeds, if desired, and green onions. Serve hot.
