Ready or not, the grilling season is upon us and I love grilling food. It is so easy, flavor filled and no heat or fuss in the kitchen. These Asian Chicken Skewers are my go-to appetizer that everyone loves. I’ll be the first to admit I miss Asian food more then anything, but in all honesty, these Asian Chicken Skewers are better then take out! They are packed with flavors!
