Serves: 4 kebabs
Ingredients
  • 4 chicken breasts or 8 chicken thighs cut into 3 to 4 cm chunks

Instructions
Marinate your chicken:
  1. Whisk the marinade ingredients together. Place the chicken in a container and coat the chicken pieces with the marinade.
  2. Cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Assemble your skewers:
  1. Remove the chicken from the fridge and thread 4 to 6 pieces of chicken on to a skewer, don't thread them too closely.
Cook your chicken kebabs:
  1. Cook your kebabs on a preheated griddle or BBQ for about fifteen minutes, browning on all sides until cooked through with no pink showing.
  2. Remove from the BBQ or griddle and baste with sesame oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  3. Serve with sweet chilli dipping sauce and Oriental Sesame Slaw or a bowl of fluffy white rice.
