Ingredients

  • 1 kg chicken thighs
  • 200 g melted butter
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 2 tbsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp chilli powder
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tbsp harissa powder
  • ½ tbsp cumin powder
  • ½ tbsp coriander powder
  • handful of parsley finely chopped
  • handful of coriander finely chopped
  • 7 garlic cloves crushed or minced
  • 2 red chillis finely chopped
  • olive oil to brush skewers with

Instructions

  • Begin by cutting your chicken thighs into equal sized pieces and place into a large mixing bowl
  • Add your dry spices, herbs, garlic, chilli and butter to your chicken. Mix well and then clingfilm the bowl and place in the fridge. Allow the chicken to marinate for 4 hours.
  • Load your chicken onto your skewers, making sure to thread the same number of chicken pieces on each skewer
  • Place on a hot barbecue to cook, turning regularly so that they cook evenly. Occasionally brush each side with some olive oil.
  • I served my chicken skewers straight off of the grill in a wrap with some homemade tzatziki, a turkish pepper that I also popped on the barbeque and a side salad!
