I love it!!! First time making a glaze for a dish and turned out AMAZING!!! No need for salt though cause I used hoisin sauce or somebody told me to use teriyaki sauce. :) I also added cashews for more flavor and to add texture! Easy to make, no complicated ingredients to get (had almost everything I needed at home), and so delicious!

very good. modifcations: I added chopped chives to marinade, and bell peppers to skewers. Served with wild rice that I mixed with toasted coconut and toasted almonds.

a solid company recipe. My fiance had 3 ski buddies over for dinner one night, i made 30 kebabs and they were gone. He gets sick of chicken often, but not when i make these!

This is one of my favorite recipes. It serves very well over Cous Cous for an easy side. I have used Silver or Golden Rum and spiced it myself and it has worked just as well.
