Tipps

Choosing Your Chicken

It's best to use fresh organic chicken whenever possible. This not only ensures better flavor but also limits any potential intake of unwanted hormones or antibiotics.

Grilling Your Skewers

Make sure your grill is heated properly before adding your skewers. This will help give your chicken that deliciously smoky flavor.

Preparing Your Mint Sauce

To bring out the best flavor in your mint sauce, be sure to use fresh mint and high quality apple cider vinegar. The fresh mint will provide a refreshing flavor, while the apple cider vinegar will give the sauce its tang.

Serving Your Skewers

Serve your skewers with fresh squeezes of lemon to add an additional zest to your meal. Avoid using high histamine fruits such as oranges or pineapples.

Storage

If you have any leftovers, be sure to store them in an airtight container, and consume within the next day to reduce any possibility of histamine development.
