Preparation

Step 1

Drain the chicken chunks to remove the excess moisture. Mix with all the marinade ingredients and cover with cling film - marinate it for a minimum of 6 hours or overnight.

Step 2

Preheat a medium grill. Thread the chicken on to skewers. If you are using wooden skewers - soak them before use.

Step 3

Place the chicken skewers under the grill for 15 to 18 minutes - turning them around halfway - brush with olive oil so that the chicken does not dry out.

Step 4

Once the chicken is cooked - serve hot with roasted vegetables, hommous and pita bread.

Transfer the skewers into a warm oven proof dish - cover with foil and keep in the warm oven - this will help keep the chicken pieces moist and stop them from drying out. If your skewers do not fit - remove the chicken pieces and keep warm.
