I wanted a new bbq skewer recipe; this was great. I prepared the onions and peppers separately with olive oil and s&p. They went on their own skewers; chicken on their own as well. The chicken grilled faster than 12-15 mins. I slowly boiled the marinade on the stove; I think you can do that and use it as a dip; we did. It needed about 4+tbsps. of water to thin it. It was spicier than the marinade on the chicken; may cool it down next time for those complainers! I will definitely make this again and soon!
