Method

  1. You need 15 skewers: if wooden, soak in water for 10 mins. Cut chicken into 3cm pieces and place in a bowl. Add 1 tbsp olive oil, the spices, garlic and vinegar, toss well and season. You can do this up to a day before and refrigerate.
  2. Thread 2-3 pieces on each skewer. Pour remaining oil in a frying pan or rub onto a griddle pan. Get the pan hot and sear the chicken for 3-4 mins on each side - you may have to do this in batches, keeping the cooked skewers warm in a low oven. Serve with smoky aïoli if you like.

    We made these as part of a tapas feast having seen it in the magazine - easy, quick and quite delicious. We didnt bother putting on skewers we just popped onto a baking sheet and into the oven - bloody lovely!

    Easy and enjoyable. I cooked the skewers on a george foreman grill which worked out well. The marinade was surprisingly subtle but I used normal paprika, not smoked and marinaded for an afternoon - next time I'll do it overnight. The aioli was delicious. I used 2 thighs per person as this was for dinner and served them up with a small portion of chips and a large mixed salad.

    I made these as part of a buffet, I cut each thigh lengthways and had 2 per skewer.. I marinaded overnight, seared really well on my griddle but finished off with 5/6 mins in the oven.. Served with the smoked garlic mayo and they were gorgeous, would definitely make again.. Would also be a lovely midweek meal with mash & veg.

    Wouldn't rush to the chicken again - lack of flavour - but the aioli went beautifully with a whole range of other snacks I had prepared.

    I had these at my friend's Eurovision party as part of a buffet over the weekend and thought they were so delicious I made them tonight. I had breasts in not thighs and was out of paprika so subbed a little cayenne pepper and a bit of tomato puree, and the flavour was almost the same. I skewered with peppers, mushrooms and courgette and served with a lovely mixed salad and potato wedges. Will definitely make again - great for a midweek family meal.
