Adapted from Bobby Flay's Bold American Food

Serves 6

1 cup Yucatan Marinade (recipe follows)
9 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
36 6-inch wooden skewers, soaked
2 cups Papaya-Tomatillo Salsa (recipe follows)

Combine chicken and marinade in a zip-lock plastic bag. Refrigerate 4 to 6 hours or overnight.

Prepare your grill or broiler. Thread each piece of chicken onto 2 skewers flattening the meat so it stays flat on the grill. Grill about 4 minutes on each side until done, basting once on each side with extra marinade. Serve with the salsa and Margaritas.

1 teaspoon honey
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir gently to mix. Season with salt and pepper.
