Servings 6 chicken kebabs
Ingredients
BBQ chicken marinade
- 2 tbsp fresh orange juice
- 2 tsp mild paprika ground
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 3 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 garlic clove crushed
Chicken skewers
- 4 chicken fillets (about 120 grams each)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- coriander leaves for garnishing
Instructions
- Mix the ingredients of the marinade together in a glass bowl. This includes the orange juice, Dijon mustard, ground paprika, maple syrup, ketchup, olive oil, salt and pepper to taste and the crushed garlic clove. Stir until well combined.
- Cut your chicken fillets into cubes about 1 inch wide. Pop them into the bowl with the marinade and stir until well-coated in the sauce.
- If you have time, cover the bowl with clingfilm and leave it in the fridge for 20 minutes or overnight.
- When you’re ready to grill or BBQ, take the bowl out of the fridge and thread the pieces of chicken onto a skewer, about 5-7 pieces per skewer. If you’re using wooden skewers it’s a good idea to soak them in cold water for 20 minutes before you start.
- If you’re cooking on the BBQ, brush the grills with oil. If you’re cooking on a grill pan then heat 1-2 tablespoons olive oil over a medium flame.
- Cook the chicken kebabs for about 5-7 minutes on each side. Check that the large pieces on either end are cooked well, and that all pieces are cooked through.
- Serve with some grilled pitta bread and a refreshing summer salad.
