Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

900g boneless chicken thigh (skin-on if possible)
zest and juice 2 lemons
1 tbsp paprika
1 tbsp mild piri-piri sauce
2 tbsp soft brown sugar
3 garlic cloves , crushed
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp coriander , finely chopped

Steps:

  • Place the chicken in a shallow, non-metallic dish and cover with all the other ingredients and mix everything together. Cover and chill for at least 2 hrs, or overnight if possible. Bring to room temperature 1 hr before grilling.
  • Thread half the thighs onto 2 large metal skewers, or wooden ones soaked in water for 10 mins. Repeat with the remaining thighs and another 2 skewers. Heat an outdoor barbecue until very hot, or use an oven grill. Place on the grill for 6 mins on one side, then turn over and cook for 4 mins. Cook for a few mins more on each side if they are large - keep the heat on medium so they don't burn. Remove and keep warm under foil.
