  • ½ tsp dry mustard

  • ½ tsp paprika

  • ¼ tsp sage

  • ¼ tsp savory

  • ¼ tsp thyme

Directions:
1. If using bamboo skewers, soak in water for at least 30 minutes before using.
2. Combine all sauce ingredients in a bowl; mix well.
3. Stir in chicken cubes; marinade for at least 2 hours before threading on skewers.
4. Grill on high heat, lid down.
5. Grill for about 4 minutes per side (total 8 minutes) or until the juices run clear.
