Ingredients

  • 1 lemon, zest grated
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chilli flakes
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 1 tbsp chopped flat-leaf (Italian) parsley (optional)
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 500 g (1 lb 2 oz) skinless chicken thigh fillets

Instructions

Mix together the lemon zest and juice, oil, chilli, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper.

Dice the chicken into 2 cm (¾ in) chunks. Pour the lemon and chilli mixture over and toss to combine. Thread 4–5 pieces of chicken on to 10 metal skewers.

Heat a barbecue grill until hot. Cook the chicken skewers for 8–10 minutes, turning once or twice, until golden brown and cooked through.
