• brown sugar2 tbsp
• tomato paste1 tbsp
• Dijon mustard1 tbsp

Method

1. 1If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes.
2. 2In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, brown sugar, tomato paste, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to make the glaze.
3. 3Toss the chicken chunks with about half of the glaze and thread them onto skewers with peach wedges and red onion pieces.
4. 4Preheat the grill to medium-high and oil the grates.
5. 5Grill the skewers for 10 to 14 minutes, turning every few minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the peaches are caramelized.
6. 6Brush the remaining glaze over the skewers during the last 2 minutes of grilling.
7. 7Rest for 3 minutes before serving.

Tips

• Keep the peach wedges fairly firm so they hold their shape on the grill.
• For a milder glaze, reduce the brown sugar by 1 tablespoon and add a splash more vinegar.
