CHICKEN SKEWERS

  • Take either your metal skewers or your wet bamboo ones and thread 4 chicken pieces onto each - do not squash together too much
  • Continue this process until all the chicken is used
  • Lay on a one cal sprayed baking sheet and bake in the oven for 25 minutes turning once half way through cooking
  • When your chicken skewers are nice and golden with charred bits remove from the oven - check your chicken to ensure it is cooked through - there should be no 'pink' bits
