TASTING NOTES: Hints of lemon and garlic are the most recognizable flavors backed by a blend of other seasonings. Light. Bright. Summer fare. A perfect pairing with lemon shandy beer, crisp white or rose wine, or lemonade.
It gets better when dipped in the tzatziki. Just enough of the thin sauce clings to the chicken, adding cucumber and more herb tasting notes without drowning the souvlaki-like flavors.
EQUIPMENT: Sharp knife, cutting board, two measuring cups, measuring spoon, two mixing bowls, whisk, wooden skewers, grill, tongs, instant read thermometer and plastic wrap or zippered storage bag.
PRACTICALITY: Valley Croix products are sold across the state and can be ordered online. The rest of the ingredients are readily available at grocery stores. No need for specialized equipment or skills makes this easy enough for novice cooks.
