Step 1

Soak wooden skewers or short, non-toxic willow sticks in cold water for 1 hour to prevent burning.

Step 2

Whisk together the spices, lemon juice, garlic, parsley and oil and season with salt and pepper. Remove the sinew and any fat from the chicken (cut in half lengthways if large), place in the marinade, cover and refrigerate overnight.

Step 3

Preheat the barbecue or grill. Thread the chicken onto the skewers or sticks and grill for 2-3 minutes each side or until cooked through.
