SLAYER'S SWEET, TANGY, AND SPICY KABOBS



Slayer's Sweet, Tangy, and Spicy Kabobs image

I acquired both my nickname and the idea for this recipe while working at an awful franchised restaurant in my college years. These are great for Summertime cookouts at tailgate partys or just for get-togethers. The sauce is fairly versatile and can be used for an array of different meats and applications (I originally used the sauce for chicken wings). For people such as myself who have acid reflux I have indicated some ingredients that can be left out in order to help curb the heartburn.

Tips:

  • To make the pork skewers extra tender, marinate them for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
  • When grilling the skewers, be sure to cook them over medium heat so that they don't burn. You should also baste them with the remaining marinade every few minutes to keep them moist.
  • If you don't have bamboo skewers, you can use metal skewers or even wooden dowels. Just be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using so that they don't burn.
  • Serve the pork skewers with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet and sour sauce, hoisin sauce, or peanut sauce.
