Everyone enjoys sweet flavours, but the hidden risks behind that sugary taste are becoming more apparent.

Yet, completely eliminating sweetness can feel like a sacrifice, while indulging in it the traditional way often comes with a guilty conscience. In light of this trend, why not try a new way to enjoy sweetness—one that’s both healthy and natural—by using fruits differently? Summer fruits are especially rich in natural sugars and hydration, making them a refreshing way to revive your appetite in the heat. Seasonal picks like melon, peaches, and oriental melon offer a delicious way to savor the sweetness of summer through Hansik, combining great taste with nourishing benefits.

🍈Peach Chicken Skewers

with a Slight Tangy Note

A colorful and appetizing skewer dish, this recipe pairs the gentle sweetness and slight tang of peaches with the tender richness of chicken thigh meat—perfect for whetting your appetite. The soy-based marinade brings out a comforting savoury depth, while the bright, juicy peach adds a refreshing finish. Lightly grilled, these skewers make an ideal summer snack or a flavourful lunchbox treat. By combining peaches—usually found in desserts—with classic chicken skewers, this dish introduces a fresh and unexpected flavour combination.

🧺Ingredients : 1 nectarine, 250 g boneless chicken thigh, 20 cm green onion, 2 tablespoons cooking oil, 2½ tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon cooking wine, 2 tablespoons water,

1 teaspoon minced garlic, A pinch of ground black pepper

👩‍🍳Instructions :

① Take out the pit from the nectarine, then cut the nectarine, chicken thigh, and green onion into 3 cm pieces.

② Assemble the skewers by alternating the prepared ingredients.

③ Combine all the sauce ingredients to create the soy-based glaze.

④ Add cooking oil to a pan and preheat over medium heat. Place the skewers in the pan and grill them evenly on both sides.

⑤ Once the chicken is partially cooked, brush the skewers with the soy glaze and continue grilling until the surface is golden and the meat is fully done.

💡 Tips : Alternatively, skip the skewers and stir-fry all the ingredients together in a pan. Then, divide the mixture into parchment paper cups and bake them in the oven. This method offers a simple yet distinctive way to enjoy the dish.
