It is summer, full force, especially with these chicken and peach asian sauce marinated skewers, despite the fact that I am due to stay working until June 18. Covid has thwarted a lot of plans, one being when summer ends for our school district. It’s all good though. I switch to summer mode sometime around the end of April, Covid or no Covid anyway. This means grilling and a lot of of it. It was at the center of growing up in summer time. My dad would always fire up the grill and make something that would emit a near magic spell to your nose and stomach. Enjoy these chicken and peach Asian sauce marinated skewers I have concocted that is sure to be a party hit for any of your upcoming summer potlucks/parties. You can find the skewers I got from Williams-Sonoma here: Williams Sonoma Stainless-Steel Basic Skewer Set of 6
