Kebabs?  Kebobs?  These suckers are bursting with sweet and spicy flavors, regardless how you pronounce it.

Chicken Kebabs with Spicy Rum Marinade | Culinary CoolMy dearest of friends have brought it to my attention that I’ve been MIA from this blog for a bit.  Apparently they enjoy reading my ramblings online.  I’ve been busy….with like…..vacations and stuff….and probably other things, too.   So this ones for you.

With our summers being short-lived, I try to maximize the use of our BBQ.  One of the things we make most often are kebabs, loaded with our favorite veggies and basted with a sweet (and often, super garlicky) glaze.  I’m a huge fan of the sweet-and-spicy combination, so I switched things up by making a sweet and spicy marinade for my chicken using jalapenos from my own garden.  Oh, and I added lots of dark rum.  You know, for good measure.

I’m a pretty big fan of all the ingredients in this recipe, and together, they make the perfect fixin’s for a summer backyard BBQ.  The boozy base, mixed with sweet, brown sugar, and a hit of heat from the jalapenos make a lip-smackin’, sweet and spicy marinade.  Not to mention, it all comes together in a snap.  Once the chicken is sufficiently marinated, go to town skewering your meat and veggies in whatever fashion you wish.  I prefer a systematic order: green pepper, red pepper, onion, pineapple, chicken, repeat.   Once your done skewering, you can commence BBQing.  Enjoy.
