Holidays can bring on lots of stress if you want to have company. When I am entertaining, I’ll make one dish that may require a bit of time and fill in with easy add-ins, such as roasted nuts, marinated olives with lemon zest and pepper, and a tray of interesting cheeses. Seriously simple style.
I like to mix it up by serving something unexpected from traditional holiday fare. Consider inviting friends to drop by for a casual cocktail fete that includes these Indian-style skewers. They are always a hit at cocktail parties. A chilled riesling or Gewürztraminer would be a refreshing accompaniment. Of course, you can offer a favorite signature cocktail of your choice.
Be sure to soak the bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight, to prevent flare-ups when grilling. The chicken tenders are marinated in a zesty yogurt mix. The curry sauce amps up the Indian-style flavor. These are easy to eat off the skewer. Be sure to have plenty of cocktail napkins at the ready. This recipe can be doubled, tripled, or made for as many people as you like.
