This recipe came from the cookbook we picked up on our cruise last fall. It’s full of fun dishes that are a little different but not difficult to pull together. I had picked this one out on my first flip through but waited to make it until now because it’s finally warm enough to grill!
These were really easy and so, so good. If you’re crunched for time, set up the chicken to marinade the night before and make the dipping sauce. The next night you only have to thread the chicken, throw in on the grill and heat up the sauce. It’ll be ready in less than fifteen minutes.
