Grilled Spicy Chicken Skewers

Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 30 mins
Yield: 4 to 6 serves

Ingredients:
  • 600 gm chicken thigh or breast
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 Tbsp yoghurt
  • 2 tsp Tabasco sauce
  • 3 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tsp paprika powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp ground turmeric
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • salsa or salad, for serving
Sauce:
  • 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp sriracha sauce
  • ½ tsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • salt, to taste
  • pepper, to taste
Method:
  1. Cut the chicken into 3 cm-sized cubes. To make the sauce, mix all the ingredients well in a little bowl. Set aside.
  2. In a food processor, put in the garlic, yoghurt, Tabasco sauce, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, paprika powder, ground cumin, ground turmeric, salt and olive oil. Process into a paste. Combine with the chicken well in a plastic bag or container. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight.
  3. Remove the chicken from fridge and rest in room temperature for about 15 minutes. Thread onto skewers. Cook skewers on a heated grill pan, or a BBQ griller, for 15 to 20 minutes on medium-low heat, until cooked through. Serve hot with sauce and salsa. Enjoy !
Notes:
  • As the marinade contains sugar, don’t cook over high heat. Or else, the skewers will be burnt before cooked through.
  • All spices are available at supermarkets or Asian grocers.
  • The cooking time depends on the thickness of your chicken meat.
  • If you don’t use a food processor, you can finely chop the garlic cloves and mix them with other ingredients well for marinating.
