Is it safe to bake chicken on wooden skewers in the oven?

to be on the safe side, i would soak the skewers in water for 30 min

Chicken Skewers Oven

Soak the skewers in water for 30 minutes & pat dry. See below:

Chinese Chicken Skewers

Serves 4-6 as an appetizer

2 pounds chicken tenders

Zest of 2 oranges

Juice of 2 oranges

8 cloves garlic, minced

¼ cup soy sauce

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

1½ teaspoons kosher salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

6" wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes and patted dry

Preheat oven to 400F.

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except chicken tenders; mix well.

Cut tenders, against the grain, into approximate 3x1" strips. Add to bowl and toss to coat thoroughly.

Thread chicken strips on wooden skewers and arrange in a single layer on two baking sheets. Spoon about half the orange mixture over the wings and bake for 12 minutes. Turn skewers and baste with remaining orange mixture. Cook an additional 10-12 minutes, or until just done. Serve with plenty of napkins - water-filled finger bowls come in handy here, too!

Yes but soak the skewers in water for about 20 minutes or so before you put chicken on them. This will keep them from burning.

Yes. Soak the wooden skewers for an hour in water. This will prevent them from burning.-

Yes, soak the skewers in water for about an hour before you assemble them & bake them.

Yes, just soak the skewers in water for a couple hours first.

Absolutely. If you're worried, you can soak them in water before skewering the chicken. But they've never burned for me.

soak the skewers in water for about 12 hours

yea it is safe. I do it all the time. but soak your skewers in water for 45 minutes just in case
