This is a hot peppery one but nothing you should need to call the fire dept. about. Note: if using wooden skewers make sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes prior to using. If you skewer often you may want to invest in some reusable stainless steel ones.

2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary

1 teaspoon minces garlic

3 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions:
