    I am so happy grilling season upon us. Looking forward to grilled corn, vegetables, steaks, burgers, sausages - you name it, my friend. I think I could sit here all day telling you how much I love grilling during the spring and summer months. Everything seems to taste like candy, but it's good food that is good for you.

    What more can you ask for?

    Not much more. Besides good company. I have a treat for you today. You are going to love these sesame chicken kebabs. They are so flavorful.

    Speaking of gorgeous weather. I am sitting here writing to you today with my office in the backyard and my feet in the grass. One of my favorite things to do.

    I tell you now so that you know. There are two different times on how long to marinate your chicken. The short version or the long version. The long version wins every time for me because it allows the flavors to absorb in the meat. It only requires a little planning ahead.

    But you know my motto. Do which ever method works best for you and your family. Not only can you control how long you marinade the chicken for, you can grill or oven-bake these guys. Either method is absolutely delicious. If you are grilling or baking the kebabs skewers , you will need to soak them for at least 30 minutes in water.

    That allows the kebabs skewers to not catch on fire or burn. If you have the metal skewers, then those are perfect, too!

    I spaced out my kebabs a little more than usual because we were have a lot of sides with them. Feel free to add the vegetable and chicken pieces closer together.

      I would probably have to add some different veggies for the kids, but sounds like a great marinade. Pinned.
