Sizzling Summer Delight: Citrus-Glazed Grilled Chicken Skewers

As the days grow longer and the temperature rises, there's nothing quite like firing up the grill and infusing your meals with the smoky, charred flavors that only outdoor cooking can offer. This summer, elevate your grill game with a recipe that is as zesty as it is mouth-watering: Citrus-Glazed Grilled Chicken Skewers — a Cuban Food Market favorite that puts our Badia citrus pepper bundle to work.

The Perfect Blend of Spice and Sweetness

This recipe layers the punchy citrus-pepper trio Badia is known for, balanced with a sticky honey-citrus glaze. Start with 1.5 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks that will soak up every bit of the flavor-packed marinade.

Marinade Magic

The secret to these skewers' irresistible taste lies in the marinade. Two tablespoons of olive oil as your base, plus an innovative blend of spices: Harlem Garlic Pepper, Lime Pepper, Lemon Pepper, and a touch of Orange Pepper. This quartet of seasonings offers a global tour of flavor — from garlic-forward depth to sun-drenched citrus.

Citrus Glaze: The Showstopper

What sets these chicken skewers apart is the homemade citrus glaze. A simple yet sophisticated combination of honey, lime juice, lemon juice, and orange juice creates a sticky, caramelized coating that will keep everyone coming back for more.

Grill to Perfection

Thread the seasoned chicken onto soaked wooden skewers and grill them to perfection. The high heat of the grill not only cooks the chicken but also imparts a smoky flavor that's the hallmark of a great summer barbecue. In the final minutes of grilling, that's when the magic happens — brush the skewers with the citrus glaze to lock in the flavor and achieve that perfect, sticky finish.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these skewers hot off the grill, garnished with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley. They're the perfect companion to a side of grilled vegetables, a crisp salad, or steamed rice for those who enjoy a more substantial meal.

Shop the bundle: Badia Citrus Pepper Bundle — Lemon, Orange, Lime Pepper, 6.5 oz each.

Easy to prepare, delightful to the palate, and visually appealing with their golden-brown glaze, these Citrus-Glazed Grilled Chicken Skewers are sure to become a staple at every summer gathering. So grab your ingredients, fire up the grill, and get ready to enjoy a taste of summer on a stick — Cuban Food Market style.

Café Con Leche: Your Cozy Morning Companion

Café Con Leche, translating to "coffee with milk," is a staple in every Cuban household. It's a simple yet enchanting blend that balances the boldness of coffee with the creaminess of milk.

Ingredients:

• Cuban coffee (preferably brewed in a moka pot or espresso machine)
• Equal amount of whole milk
• Optional: A pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder

Instructions:

1. Start by brewing a strong cup of Cuban coffee using your trusty moka pot or espresso machine. The richness of Cuban coffee is the soul of this recipe.
2. Heat an equal amount of milk until it's hot but not boiling—this is key to achieving the perfect texture without scalding the milk.
3. Pour the hot coffee into your favorite cup, filling it halfway, welcoming the deep, aromatic essence of Cuba.
4. Slowly add the hot milk to the coffee, pouring it in a gentle stream to marry the two layers beautifully.
5. Stir gently to combine, watching as the swirls of coffee and milk dance together in your cup.
6. For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder on top. It's not just a drink; it's a work of art.

Enjoy your Café Con Leche in the quiet morning hours or as an afternoon delight. It's a comforting companion that brings warmth and satisfaction with every sip.

Cortadito: A Bold Statement in a Small Cup

Cortadito, often described as the Cuban espresso, is the perfect mid-day pick-me-up. This petite powerhouse is potent, sweet, and textured, akin to a Spanish "Cortado" but with a Cuban twist.

Ingredients:

• Strong Cuban coffee
• 1-2 teaspoons of sugar
• A small amount of milk
• Optional: Cinnamon or nutmeg

Instructions:

1. Brew a shot of robust Cuban coffee. The strength of the coffee is the backbone of this bold beverage.
2. Dissolve 1-2 teaspoons of sugar in a bit of hot water. This isn't just sweetening; it's crafting the signature espuma — a frothy sugar layer.
3. Pour the coffee over the sugar mixture, and stir vigorously. Watch as the coffee and sugar come together in a sweet, aromatic symphony.
4. Steam or froth a small amount of milk until you achieve a silky foam. Gently pour this over your coffee mixture, adding a cloud-like layer on top.
5. A dash of cinnamon or nutmeg can be sprinkled for an extra dimension of flavor.

The Cortadito offers an instant jolt of energy and culture, best enjoyed with lively conversation or a moment of silent reverence for its powerful taste.

Cuban coffee culture is all about simplicity, strength, and sweetness, symbolizing the Cuban spirit. Whether you're indulging in the creamy caress of a Café Con Leche or the vigorous vivacity of a Cortadito, you're not just drinking coffee—you're partaking in a tradition that's as rich as the coffee itself.

Invite these Cuban classics into your home, and let the robust flavors of Café Con Leche and Cortadito whisk you away to the Caribbean's most charismatic island. Cheers, or as the Cubans say, "Salud!"
