The glaze was a little too runny. I think I would have thickened it up with some cornstarch.

The chicken was a little dry. I think I would have cooked it for a shorter amount of time.

These skewers were a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would have liked them better with a savory glaze.

I'm not a big fan of chicken, but these skewers were surprisingly good. The apricot glaze really made the chicken flavorful.
