For 10 skewers
Chicken
Chicken marinade
To serve
Equipment
- Bowl
- Skewers
- Large nonstick pan
- Paper towel
- Foil
- Barbecue grill or flat plate
Instructions
Prepare and marinate
Step 1: Mix the marinade ingredients in a bowl until they form a paste. Add the chicken pieces and toss well so every piece is coated.
Step 2: Marinate for 12 to 24 hours; even 3 hours helps. The chicken can also be cooked straight away.
Step 3: Thread the chicken pieces onto skewers. Make 10 to 12 skewers, with 3 to 4 pieces on each. You can also thread the chicken onto the skewers before marinating, if that suits you better.
Cook and serve
Step 4: Heat a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat with enough oil to lightly coat the base. Cook the skewers in batches for 3 minutes on each side, adjusting the heat as needed so the spices do not burn. Transfer each batch to a plate and loosely cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe any black bits from the pan with a paper towel, add more oil and continue cooking.
Tip: Let the cooked skewers rest for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.
Step 5: For barbecue cooking, lightly oil the grill or flat plate. Heat to medium, or medium-high if the barbecue is not very strong. Cook the skewers for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, adjusting the heat as needed so the spices do not burn.
Step 6: Serve with flatbreads or pita pockets, shredded lettuce, tomato and onion slices, and a sauce of your choice. Alternatively, serve with seasoned rice, a Greek salad and sauce.
Notes
Make ahead and leftovers
For make-ahead skewers, coat the chicken in the marinade, thread it onto skewers and freeze straight away. Thaw overnight in the fridge; the chicken will marinate as it thaws.
Cooked skewers keep in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
If using 20 ml tablespoons, measure 3 teaspoons for each tablespoon called for.
