Description

These easy chicken skewers are marinated with a whole lemon and a squidge of honey, and are the perfect weeknight addition to any grill in the height of summer.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp Runny Honey
  • Zest + Juice of 1 Large Lemon
  • 2 Freedom Food Chicken Breasts
  • Sea Salt
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 3 Wooden Barbecue Skewers

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, a good pinch of sea salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper in a medium bowl and add the chicken, cut into large chunks.
  2. Cover, and allow to marinate chilled for at least 2 hours, but I try to get it done after breakfast so the flavour has a good time to soak into the chicken.
  3. While you’re waiting for the barbecue to heat up soak the skewers in cold water. This will prevent them catching fire while you’re trying to barbecue.
  4. When the barbecue is ready to cook, divine the chicken pieces between the three skewers, and cook, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through. Baste the chicken, using a pastry brush with the leftover marinade every few minutes to make sure the chicken keeps moist and has maximum flavour.
