These Asian-flavored kabobs, served with a tasty dipping sauce, are special enough to make for guests at your next backyard get-together. Sometimes I substitute salmon for the chicken. —Kelly Townsend, Syracuse, Nebraska

This is now one of my favorites! The Sesame oil makes all the difference.

I have made these & they are a summer favorite every time I make them..can't wait for asparagus to come into season every year so I can make these tasty treats.

Absolutely delicious! We leave the sesame oil out of the sauce since we found it to be over-powering. This is one of our favorite summer grilling meals.
