When the fire has died down and the coals are medium-hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above the surface of the grill for 3 to 4 seconds), place the skewers on the grill and cook until well seared and crisp on the outside, 4 to 5 minutes per side. To check for doneness, nick, peek, and cheat: Make a -inch cut in the thickest part of one of the nuggets; it should be warm throughout with no red, only the faintest trace of pink. When the sweetbreads are fully cooked, remove them from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes.
