Stringing fresh ingredients onto a stick in order to cook them is a common practice in many cultures and civilizations. In fact, roasting meat and vegetable skewers on a grill or over a fire belongs to the most ancient methods of food preparation, and it’s also one of the tastiest. Next to the famous shish kebab originating in the Middle East, countries like Japan have a long history of grilling meat over charcoal, and the Pacific Islands are famous for their skewers featuring everything from pork and chicken to pineapples roasted over a flame. But don’t worry, you don’t need to start a fire in your kitchen to partake in this long standing cooking tradition. You can simply use your oven to roast perfectly seasoned chicken skewers or sweet and savory pork skewers with minimal mess and effort.
