Tips:

  • Choose the right plums: For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy plums. Look for plums that are deep in color and have a slight give when you press them. Avoid plums that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Make the glaze ahead of time: The plum glaze can be made up to 3 days in advance. This will give the flavors time to meld and develop.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in the plum glaze for at least 30 minutes will help to tenderize the chicken and infuse it with flavor.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Feel free to use any vegetables that you like in your kabobs. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, zucchini, and squash.
  • Cook the kabobs over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken and vegetables from burning.
  • Baste the kabobs with the plum glaze: Basting the kabobs with the plum glaze while they are cooking will help to keep them moist and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Plum glazed chicken kabobs are easy to make, healthy, and absolutely delicious. They are perfect for a summer cookout or party. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that will impress your guests and leave them wanting more. So fire up the grill and get cooking!
