SPICY GARLIC CHICKEN SKEWERS

Category: Kabobs/Kebobs/Skewers

Water, for soaking skewers
1 dozen 10-inch bamboo skewers
3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
2 Tbsp honey
4 Tbsp ketchup
4 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp English or Dijon mustard
2 tsp hot pepper sauce
Salt and fresh-ground black pepper, to taste
3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
Quartered vegetables, your choice

Soak 12 (10-inch) bamboo skewers in water for at least 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a nonreactive bowl, mix together garlic, honey, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, hot pepper sauce, salt, and pepper. Toss in chicken and stir until well combined. Cover and marinate 20 or 30 minutes, or overnight.

Prepare outdoor grill or preheat broiler to high. Thread the chicken and vegetables onto skewers. Cook over the hot coals of an outdoor grill 5 to 6 minutes. Or, arrange on a foil-lined baking sheet and broil 6 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally until well browned and cooked through.
