Main Ingredients	Quantity
Boneless chicken thigh	800 grams
Smoked paprika	3 teaspoons
Ground Cumin	1 teaspoon
Cinnamon	Half teaspoon
Chilli flakes	According to your taste
Lemon juice	3 Tablespoons
Crushed garlic gloves	3 cloves
Salt and pepper	According to your taste
Chopped onions or bell peppers	Optional for the skewers

Part 1- Marinate the chicken 

1. Dice the chicken into bite sized pieces.
2. Mix all of the spices, chilli flakes, lemon juice, garlic, pepper and salt. 
3. Add the diced chicken into the mixture. Coat it thoroughly.
4. Marinate the chicken for 2-24 hours. The longer the tastier!

Part 2- Cook the chicken on the barbequ

1.  Heat the barbeque for approximately 15 minutes.                                       
2. Have your skewers ready. If you own metal skewers, AWESOME! If you own wooden ones, remember to soak them in some hot water before using.
3. Thread the chicken onto the skewers. Level up your game by alternating the meat with vegetables such as onions and bell peppers
4. Cook the chicken on the barbeque until it is cooked through to the middle. Test if it is cooked by poking a toothpick through a piece. The juice that oozes out of the chicken should be clear, not pink or red.
5. Turn the kebabs a few times to make sure that they are cooked evenly on all sides.

Part 3- Serve

Take the kebabs off the skewers and serve 

Top tip: Serve it with your favourite sides like hummus or tahini.

You could buy Tahini from Bakkali.

Or we can teach you to make hummus!
