Happy Fall ya’ll! I must say the transition hasn’t been as hard for me as I thought it would be. Possibly because it was 89 degrees on the first day of Fall. Ha! I can definitely handle that! I hope you haven’t tucked your grill away just yet – we’ve got a couple more months left that you can get some great use out of it (including this recipe) and I’m still loving all the grilled things… you with me? I don’t know about you, but I feel like grilled chicken has a very narrow window between undercooked and charred. Anyone else have that problem?
Luckily, since this chicken is marinated, it grills up beautifully, and with the help of a handy meat thermometer you can have perfectly juicy chicken that you’ll want to make again and again. The real star of the show however is Real Salt’s Organic Lemon Pepper Seasoning which infuses the chicken with SO. MUCH. FLAVOR! This seasoning uses Freeze-dried organic lemon peel, which condenses such bright and wonderful notes of lemon into supercharged flakes! Other members of the all-star cast include Ancient Sea Salt (Real Salt), Black Pepper, Garlic, Onion, and Thyme – all organic. This makes for an incredibly versatile blend, and there are zero grams of sugar or carbs, making this blend perfectly suitable for those following a Keto lifestyle.
The Lemon Pepper Seasoning is also a core element of the Lemon Yogurt Dipping Sauce, which really takes these Chicken Skewers to the next level. This Greek yogurt based dip is creamy, savory, and oh so delicious. The crisp, cool flavors of the dip are the perfect compliment to the juicy hot-off-the-grill chicken. Let’s get grillin’, shall we?
