Sizzling Summer Delight: Citrus-Glazed Grilled Chicken Skewers
As the days grow longer and the temperature rises, there's nothing quite like firing up the grill and infusing your meals with the smoky, charred flavors that only outdoor cooking can offer. This summer, elevate your grill game with a recipe that is as zesty as it is mouth-watering: Citrus-Glazed Grilled Chicken Skewers, brought to you by the culinary creatives at Qbin.
The Perfect Blend of Spice and Sweetness
Qbin's recipe card reveals a tantalizing mix of flavors that promise to tantalize your taste buds and add a gourmet touch to your backyard barbecues. Start with 1.5 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks that will soak up every bit of the flavor-packed marinade you're about to prepare.
Marinade Magic
The secret to these skewers' irresistible taste lies in the marinade. You'll need two tablespoons of olive oil as your base, to which you'll add an innovative blend of spices: Harlem Garlic Pepper, Lime Pepper, Lemon Pepper, and a touch of Orange Pepper. This quartet of seasonings offers a global tour of flavors, from the garlic-infused streets of New York's Harlem to the citrus-kissed groves of sun-drenched orchards.
Citrus Glaze: The Showstopper
What sets these chicken skewers apart is the homemade citrus glaze. A simple yet sophisticated combination of honey, lime juice, lemon juice, and orange juice creates a sticky, caramelized coating that will keep everyone coming back for more.
Grill to Perfection
Thread the seasoned chicken onto soaked wooden skewers and grill them to perfection. The high heat of the grill not only cooks the chicken but also imparts a smoky flavor that's the hallmark of a great summer barbecue. And in the final minutes of grilling, that's when the magic happens – brushing the skewers with the citrus glaze to lock in the flavor and achieve that perfect, sticky finish.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these skewers hot off the grill, garnished with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley. They're the perfect companion to a side of grilled vegetables, a crisp salad, or even steamed rice for those who enjoy a more substantial meal.

Easy to prepare, delightful to the palate, and visually appealing with their golden-brown glaze, these Citrus-Glazed Grilled Chicken Skewers by Qbin are sure to become a staple at every summer gathering.
