The Method

1
**Prepare the Balsamic Strawberry Glaze:** In a saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and Jersey honey. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir in Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and fresh thyme.
2
**Marinate the Chicken:** In a bowl, combine the cubed chicken with half of the balsamic strawberry glaze. Gently toss to coat well. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
3
**Prepare the Skewers:** Thread the marinated chicken and halved/quartered Jersey strawberries onto skewers, alternating between chicken and strawberries.
4
**Cook the Jersey Royal Potatoes:** Gently boil the Jersey Royal potatoes until tender. Drain and allow to cool slightly. Coat with melted Jersey butter, salt and pepper. Grill the potatoes for 5 minutes on each side until lightly charred.
5
**Grill the Skewers:** Preheat your grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grates. Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the strawberries are slightly caramelized. Baste with remaining glaze during the last few minutes of grilling for added flavor.
6
**Make the Potato Salad:** Mix the potatoes with fresh parsley, spring onions, Jersey Milk Mayonnaise, salt, and pepper.
7
**Serve:** Serve the Jersey Strawberry and Balsamic Glazed Chicken Skewers hot off the grill with the Jersey Royal potato salad.

Chef's Tips

Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.

For a smokier flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika to the balsamic glaze.

Adjust the amount of Jersey honey to your preference for sweetness.

If you don't have a grill, you can cook the skewers under the broiler or in a grill pan.
