24th July – Chicken pinchitos

Ingredients (makes about 4-6 skewers):

  • 500g boneless skinless chicken breasts – cut into 1″ cubes
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin seed – roughly ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon of fennel seed – roughly ground
  • 2 teaspoons of smoked paprika
  • 2 garlic cloves – crushed and finely sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 bay leaf – crumbled
  • 2 teaspoons wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 4-6 pre-soaked wooden skewers

Mix together the coriander, ground cumin and fennel seeds, paprika, garlic, salt, oregano, bay leaf, wine vinegar and olive oil in a container or bowl.  Add a little more oil if the mixture looks a little dry.  Pour the cubes of chicken into the mixture and ensure that all of the pieces are evenly coated in the marinade.  Cover and put into the fridge for at least 2 hours.

When you’re ready to cook the chicken heat up your grill or barbeque.  Slide pieces of the chicken onto the skewers until all of the chicken is used up.  Cook under the grill for 4-6 minutes per side depending on how hot you have your grill or barbeque set.  Make sure you don’t overcook the meat.

Once cooked eat straight away and serve with fries and/or salad.
