A 99¢ bottle of lemon pepper caught my eye at the store and I used that as my inspiration for some
Fruity Chicken Kabobs with Lemon Pepper Rub. Don't hesitate to add peaches and nectarines to kabobs folks, they are amazing when grilled and I don't even bother peeling them. To add to the fruity theme I brushed everything with a coating of lime infused olive oil, that brought a little something extra to the party too. This was the first time I used a rub on shish-ka-bobs instead of a marinade and it worked well. Which bites were the best? The ones that had a little bit of everything:@)
The
original recipe for this rub was created for long cooking ribs, I cut back on the salt for quick cooking kabobs. It also made over 1 1/2 C of rub, the recipe below is one fourth of the amount called for. This would be great with pork too.
