Total Time 10 minutes
Servings 12 Skewers

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon raw sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • ΒΌ teaspoon white pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 500 g chicken tenders or chicken breasts you have cut up yourself
  • 12 wooden skewers soaked in water to prevent burning
  • Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Add the sugar, salt, cinnamon, thyme leaves, white pepper and olive oil into a large zip lock bag.
  • Crush the clove of garlic and add it to the bag.
  • Squish everything about until it is well mixed.
  • Place the chicken tenders into the bag and massage them with the marinade.
  • Leave to marinade for at least an hour, but preferably overnight.
  • When you are ready to cook, remove the chicken from the bag and thread onto the skewers. (see notes)
  • Get a large frying pan or griddle pan, super hot and add the skewers to the pan. Turn the heat to medium and allow them to cook for 4 minutes before turning them and giving them a further 3-4 minutes until cooked through.
  • Serve with a sprinkling of fresh thyme or parsley.
  • If you want to serve these with some buttery couscous then you can get my recipe here.

Notes

If you want to serve these up at a party and have all the prep done in advance. Then skewer the chicken before you marinade it. But I would suggest marinading in a baking dish (or something similar) instead of a ziplock bag.
