- Remove the marinade from the fridge and let sit on the counter for 30 minutes to adjust the temperature before grilling.

10 minutes prior to cooking:
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for four minutes on one side, then turn over.
- After turning the skewers brush Caribbean Mango Chef Sauce to baste on the cooked side of the skewer, turn over the skewer, cook for one minute. Repeat basting and turning until cooked through and glaze is caramelized.
