Fire up the grill for a recipe that’s as bold in flavor as it is vibrant on the plate. These tamarind-chipotle glazed skewers are the ultimate summer grilling go-to—sweet, smoky, tangy, and just a little spicy, with layers of flavor that build in every bite. Finished with a glossy glaze made using Wesson Canola Oil, each skewer caramelizes beautifully on the grill while staying juicy and tender.

Wesson Canola Oil helps bring the marinade together into a smooth, balanced glaze that clings perfectly to every piece, enhancing both texture and flavor without overpowering the bold ingredients. The result is a dish that delivers big, craveable taste with minimal effort.

Colorful, crowd-pleasing, and endlessly fun to eat, these skewers are perfect for backyard gatherings, weeknight grilling, or anytime you want a dish that looks as good as it tastes—without skimping on flavor.
