Plum Chicken Skewers

Plum chicken skewers is a flavorful dish that involves marinating pieces of chicken in a plum-based sauce or glaze before placing on skewers and then grilling or baking. The marinade process allows the chicken to absorb the sweet and tangy flavors of the plum, which is enhanced with ingredients like soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and other spices.
