Description

With a little grown-up help, these skewers can be cooked under the grill or even on a barbecue.

Method

Step 1 of 3

Put all the ingredients, except the chicken, into a saucepan with 2 tbsp of cold water and whisk to dissolve the cornflour. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat to a low simmer, and cook for 2 minutes until it thickens. Cool completely. Pour the sauce over the chicken, and mix. Cover and chill for 1 hour, or up to 4 hours. Meanwhile, soak 8 bamboo skewers in water.

Step 2 of 3

Preheat the grill on its highest setting and line a baking tray with foil, allowing the foil to overlap the edge. Thread the chicken onto the skewers and lay in a line along the tray, farthest away from the foil overlap. Fold the overlapping foil over the exposed handles, to prevent them burning.

Step 3 of 3

Grill for 5-6 minutes on each side, brushing with leftover marinade occasionally, until well cooked and caramelized in places.
