Plum-Glazed Chicken Kabobs image

These creative kabobs make a great first impression, according to Nancy Morrison. "I brought them to a neighborhood dinner when we moved to our new home. People couldn't wait 'til dinner and started snatching them as soon as I walked in the door," she reports from Midlothian, Virginia. "They just couldn't resist the tantalizing aroma."

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was dry and tough, and the plum glaze was too sweet. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The chicken was a little overcooked, but the plum glaze was delicious. I would recommend cooking the chicken for less time.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the glaze.

The chicken was a little dry, but the plum glaze was delicious. I would recommend using a different type of chicken, or marinating it for longer.

This recipe was a hit at my last barbecue! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the plum glaze was the perfect balance of sweet and savory. I'll definitely be making this again.
