Preparation

Step 1

Place chicken in non metal bowl, sprinkle with salt & lemon juice. Toss and set aside for 10 minutes.

Make marinade by combining all marinade ingredients in a small bowl.

Thread cubes of chicken onto pre-soaked skewers. Brush marinade onto chicken, cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours (ideally overnight).

Cook skewers on a grill lightly coating with oil as you turn so they don't stick. Turn frequently and cook about 15 minutes or until cooked through.

Meanwhile, if using, mix dip.
