a fifo wife {fifo life: whats for dinner: Middle Eastern Chicken Skewers}

My kids and I guess every kid loves food on a stick..who doesnt. Super easy and yum. Serve with flat bread or my kis favourite cous cous.

What you will need:

2 cloves garlic crushed

2cm piece ginger, finely grated

2 long red chillies, seeded, finely chopped (optional if using this with kidlets)

1 tbs ground cumin

2 tsp sweet paprika

½ tsp smoked paprika

1 lemon, zested, juiced 60ml

(¼ cup) olive oil

1kg chicken thigh fillets, trimmed, cut into 2cm pieces

How to:

1. To marinate chicken, place garlic, ginger, chillies, cumin, all paprika, lemon zest and juice, oil and chicken in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, and toss well to combine.
2. Thread chicken evenly onto skewers and place on a large oven tray. Cover and stand at room temperature for 30 minutes to marinate.
3. Meanwhile, to make yoghurt sauce, place all ingredients in a bowl, season, then stir to combine. Makes 11/3 cups.
4. Preheat a lightly greased chargrill pan or barbecue over high heat. Cook skewers, turning frequently, for 8 minutes or until charred and cooked through.

Enjoy
