1. Use quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor.Soy sauce: This grounds the marinade with its umami flavor.
  2. Use reduced sodium soy sauce so we can control the salt.Balsamic vinegar: This adds a subtle, complex fruity, sweet tanginess.
  3. Use Balsamic Vinegar of Modena I.G.P.  for the best flavor like this one. Grape must should always be the first ingredient followed only by vinegar.
  4. Lemon juice: This brightens the marinade and tenderizes the chicken. Freshly squeezed is best but you can use bottled because it’s just a splash.
  5. Brown sugar: This balances the soy, balsamic and lemon juice and helps caramelize the chicken as it cooks.
  6. Seasonings: Dried oregano, dried basil, dried thyme, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes inject the Chicken Kabobs with a depth of flavor.
