Who knew? These two things that we already love separately are now joined together for a summer-fresh flavor frenzy you are sure to love even more. Margarita Chicken Skewers are so easy and an elegant way to entertain when summer parties have begun. These tender, juicy chicken breasts are marinated in a lot of sweet, a lot of sour, and a little salty goodness, nodding to that margarita taste that you already love, making this a double-shot of fantastic flavor. It truly makes your mouth water just talking about it! Refresh your grill this summer and add the Margarita Chicken Skewers to your non-drink menu.
