Sweet and Savory Chicken Skewers
I’ve always been a fan of combining sweet fruits with savory spices, it sets up a certain flavor balance that just works so well. Mango with chili pepper, peaches and thyme, rhubarb and rosemary. They’re all delicious, so can there be any question that the blackberries and rosemary in this grilled chicken skewer recipe would be a match made in heaven? Elise and I found the inspiration for these grilled chicken skewers in a tattered old cookbook; it needed quite a bit of tweaking but we finally nailed it! The sweet sauce really makes the rosemary pop on these summertime chicken skewers. Believe me, we were sopping up this rosemary chicken marinade with bits of watermelon, lettuce, strawberries - anything we could get our hands on. To broil, preheat the broiler. Place skewers on an oiled broiling pan, 5 to 6 inches away from the burner. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Place on a platter and cover with foil to allow the chicken to rest.
