I said inwards a higher identify that when I made this for my household unit of measurement in addition to my friend's daughters I didn't convey to worry nearly them non liking it.  The kids all had seconds of the chicken.  There were no leftovers from this, which was sort of disappointing because I had hoped to convey some for the married adult man in addition to me for dejeuner the side past times side day.  The kids didn't consume the zucchini, exactly the married adult man in addition to I loved it.  This thick-zucchini-slices-on-bamboo-skewers was genuinely my go-to means to grill zucchini over the summertime when we'd convey it equally a side dish.  So easy!  If I wasn't making this recipe I'd brush the slices alongside some olive crude oil in addition to sprinkle alongside some Lawry's or Tony Chachere's in addition to throw them on the grill alongside whatever poly peptide I was cooking.

This is super slowly to seat together (as long equally you lot conception ahead for marinating time), in addition to therefore good.  The master recipe called for sake instead of the rice vino vinegar, exactly since I didn't convey sake on paw I substituted the vinegar.  It also called for greenish onions to live on on the skewers betwixt chicken pieces in addition to zucchini pieces, exactly I haven't ever done that, therefore I took it out of the cistron list.

I convey already made this therefore many times this summer, exactly it's therefore slowly in addition to my household unit of measurement loves it, therefore it's definitely going to remain 1 of my go-to chicken thigh recipes!
