Fiery Glazed Mango BBQ Chicken Skewers

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Cambria Estate Winery. All opinions are 100% mine.

All the above things have a special place in my heart and make summer complete.  I get giddy when we plan an outing to the KC Royals game for tailgating because I get to share a few beers with friends. The hot summer days are meant for sundresses to show off sun-kissed skin and fresh painted toes.  Evenings spent on our back deck with an open flame putting the perfect char on our dinner. And the crisp and fruity chardonnay is the only way to end the day.

Cambria Estate Winery ® is a family owned vineyard from Santa Monica, California.  For over 25 years they have been sustainably farming, wines to preserve the land for future generations. With the help of California’s cool-climate, they have crafted wines to win over 150 reviews with 90+ scores. Visit the Cambria blog for terrific recipes, DIY tips and news from the Cambria Estate Winery Vineyards.

With a wide range of Cambria’s hand-crafted wines to choose from, I am personally drawn to crisp, fruity white wines that compliment the freshness of a creamy cheese or tender chicken with a touch of heat.

Living in the Midwest, I have come to adore barbecue in every form. A tomato and vinegar based BBQ sauce is on top of my list. But not just any BBQ sauce would do; a sauce sweetened with fruit, as it is in abundance during the summer months. Sweet and tropical mango is added to the simmering sauce to naturally sweeten it, limiting the use of sugar. And a touch of chili powder brings the heat.

Fiery Glazed Mango BBQ Chicken SkewersEvery meal should be well rounded; from textures to colors to flavors. Among the most popular combinations are opposites. Its just facts…opposites attract. A touch of salt brings out the sweetness in cookies. And a touch of heat brings outs the sweetness in this BBQ sauce.

With today’s Fiery Mango BBQ Glazed Chicken Skewers, I was looking for a way to round out the meal. The full body Chardonnay with its pineapple hints, instantly cool off the heat of the BBQ sauce and compliments the mango to a ’T’.

Of Cambria’s unique wines, the Chardonnay has subtle citrus and tropical notes of pineapple, stone fruit and apple. The oak and vanilla balance out the body of the wine lending to the crisp, fresh finish I always look for in wines.

Fiery Glazed Mango BBQ Chicken Skewers

Long, summer days call for simple meals.  Light up the grill, throw one last bit of spicy glaze on the BBQ chicken skewers, pour yourself a glass of crisp white wine and watch the sun set. You deserve it.

    Do you boil the onions and bell peppers with all of the ingredients too?? Or do you put everything except for onion, bell peppers and chicken into the saucepan?
