A chicken dish from the Turkish kitchen.
Ingredients
- 6 Chicken Thighs
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Fennel Seeds
- 1 tsp Ground Cumin
- 1 tsp sweet smoked paprika
- 1 clove peeled crushed Garlic
- 1 tsp Red Wine Vinegar
- To serve Smoky Aïoli
Method
- You need 15 skewers: if wooden, soak in water for 10 mins. Cut chicken into 3cm pieces and place in a bowl. Add 1 tbsp olive oil, the spices, garlic and vinegar, toss well and season. You can do this up to a day before and refrigerate.
- Thread 2-3 pieces on each skewer. Pour remaining oil in a frying pan or rub onto a griddle pan. Get the pan hot and sear the chicken for 3-4 mins on each side – you may have to do this in batches, keeping the cooked skewers warm in a low oven. Serve with smoky aïoli if you like.
