Chicken Skewers With Dukkah Crust And Balsamic Reduction Recipes

Dukkah makes everything better. This Middle Eastern spice mix, often including sesame seeds, sumac, and hazelnuts, is most commonly combined with oil and used as a dipping sauce. This recipe coats the chicken in mustard and dukkah and is accompanied by a sweet-sour sauce of honey and balsamic vinegar. If you have the time, you can make your own dukkah using Recipe #78932 or something similar. Otherwise, you can find it at gourmet grocery stores, at Middle Eastern stores, or online at Spice Bazaar. The vinegar-honey sauce and dukkah (if making) can be done up to five days ahead of time. Coat the chicken in the dukkah mix up to 2 hours ahead of time and then refrigerate them. When ready to eat, bake off the skewers and warm up the sauce over low heat until it is syrupy. Slacker solution: If you can't find dukkah and don't feel like making it yourself, substitute toasted fine breadcrumbs. Recipe courtesy of Aïda Mollenkamp.
