Chicken skewers with prunes are an original dish where the juiciness of chicken meat perfectly combines with the delicate sweetness of prunes and the rich flavor of fat. This recipe originated in European cuisine, which values the balance of flavors and textures. The marinade made from soy sauce, lemon, garlic, and spices adds a piquant touch to the meat, while the fat protects the skewers from drying out, making them tender and aromatic. This dish is suitable for friendly evenings or cozy family dinners, especially when served with fresh vegetables and herbs. Chicken skewers with prunes are a successful combination of simplicity and sophistication that deserves attention from culinary experiment enthusiasts.
