Balsamic Herb Chicken Skewers

Balsamic Herb Chicken Skewers

I’ve always loved the simple yet elegant flavours of Italy. One of my favourite recipes to make on my Bull Grill is inspired by those flavours by combining Balsamic vinegar, olive oil, citrus, and Italian herbs with chicken. The aroma reminds me of the hills of Tuscany and it’s easy to make and quick to cook.

Using skewers makes for fun presentation but it also means cook time is quicker since you are cooking smaller pieces all at the same time. Wooden skewers can be used but they splinter and you must let them soak for at least 30 minutes before grilling to keep them from burning.

Blood oranges add an amazing flavour to this dish but if they aren’t in season regular oranges will do.
