Chicken Kabobs

Summertime's just fine 

To me, there is nothing better than kabobs grilled outside during the summer. I know, it’s still May but it sure feels like late July or August around here with the heat and all. I’m already thinking about Memorial Day foods like grilled corn on the cob, dogs and cold watermelon.

This kabob recipe is one we like and I enjoy grilling it often. The chicken has a wonderful flavor from the marinade and grilled over an apple-wood fire - oh my goodness. My lips are smacking as I write. Try this one next time you feel like a mouthful of sweet, tangy goodness. Enjoy!
