Ingredients

Method

To prepare the skewers:
Soak skewers in shallow dish of cold water for 30 minutes. Drain.
Thread chicken onto skewers (leave at least 2cm free at one end of the skewers so that they can be held easily). Place in a shallow dish.
Combine half the oil and all remaining ingredients in a bowl and stir well to make the marinade. Pour marinade over the skewers and turn to coat.
Cover the skewers and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight).
When ready to cook:
Heat a BBQ plate to high and brush lightly with remaining olive oil.
Remove skewers from dish and transfer to BBQ plate. Cook for 3 min on each side or until cooked through. Serve.

Serve with a side salad and baked potato to make a more substantial meal (we recommend catering 2-3 skewers per person if serving as a meal).
