Skewered Chicken & Chorizo With Cumin Aioli image

Oh yum! A bit of preparation and marinading time involved but SO tasty. From TASTE Magazine **UPDATE: May 1/08 - After two great reviews that skipped the marinating part of this recipe, I had to try that out for myself and guess what - it's great without that step! I still used some olive oil to baste with before sticking on the grill but no more marinating for me now on! You can also add just a sprinkling of garlic salt to the chicken before grilling to add flavour to it.
