Tutor's tips
- •Use chicken thighs for the juiciest result. Chicken breast works, but it cooks faster and should be pulled from the grill as soon as it reaches 165°F.
- •Choose peaches that smell fragrant but still feel slightly firm. Very soft peaches can turn watery in the salsa.
- •If the grill flares up, move the skewers to a cooler zone for a minute, then return them to direct heat once the flames settle.
