Everyone has a big sweet tooth in my family, and I'm always baking up tasty treats. I have to make sure that I balance out all that baking with some lighter meals. Grilling is my go to for accomplishing this. I like a nice sear, so my grill is usually set on high. I'm glad that Mazola Corn Oil has a smoke point higher than most cooking oils at 450°F and performs well in a variety of cooking applications. Many home cooks may not realize that all cooking oils have a smoke point that, once exceeded, negatively affects the food’s flavor and nutritional value.

Best Marinade For Chicken Kabobs
I love a good marinade. It makes the meat you are about to cook so full of flavor and extra tender. For the balsamic rosemary chicken, I swapped out a few ingredients from what I normally use in my marinades. Instead of using garlic powder, I opted for fresh garlic cloves. I also used fresh rosemary from my garden instead of dried herbs. Lastly, I switched out Mazola Corn Oil in place of extra virgin olive oil. The corn oil has a neutral taste that lets the natural flavors of the other ingredients really shine.
Balsamic vinegar and rosemary are one of the most enjoyable flavor combinations to me. It tastes so good and makes the best chicken kabobs!
How To Cook Chicken Kabobs
If you have ever visited Jordan's Easy Entertaining, you already know my favorite way to cook in the summer is grilling. Cooking chicken kabobs on the grill is really easy. One thing to keep in mind is that the wooden skewers will catch on fire if you don't soak them in water first.
The grill time for chicken kabobs is about 5 to 6 minutes per side over medium-high heat. I like to close my grill cover to seal in some smoky flavoring and get a more even heat.
Once the balsamic rosemary chicken kabobs are done cooking, remove them from the grill and let rest for a minute or two before serving.
