BBQ Chicken Kebabs with Peppers


Ok' so if you are planning a nice BBQ this weekend those babies will be a Talk of the Evening! 
This recipe is been a very favourite of mine and extremely popular with parties and friends. It is kind of  a family heirloom and the recipe  has been kept hidden away deep into my Recipe journal. Until I got so many requests from friends and family about the ''secret'' ingredients, that I decided to share this with you all :) Hope you love it and it becomes a regular tasty meal on your BBQ table too.

Sweet chilli chicken kebabs


Ingredients:
700g. boneless chicken thighs ( or 12 thighs) serves 6
1 teaspoon of ground caraway seeds
1 teaspoon cumin seeds ( crushed)
1 teaspoon ground coriander
3 garlic cloves ( crushed)
1 table spoon of salt
1 teaspoon of sweet paprika
1 teaspoon of chilly powder mild
200ml. plain Greek yogurt
150ml. pineapple juice
100ml. olive oil
2-3 sweet peppers cut into large pieces



Cut the chicken into a little pieces and place into a large bowl.  In a separate dish or little bowl mix together all ingredients. Pour the marinade over the chicken . Mix well, cover with cling film and leave in the fridge to marinate overnight. You can do a speedy BBQ - 2 hours marinating time, but I do prefer an overnight, as the chicken gets more flavor. It is good for the kids too, as it is not spicy, but if you would like a little spice kick just add an extra teaspoon of chilly powder. 
I always use a small metal skewers, but you can use the wooden ones too ( just leave them to soak in the cold water for 20min. before starting to arrange the chicken) 
Then weave the peppers in between the chicken pieces on the metal skewers. Use any vegetables you like: courgette, red onion.
Now the job for the Man :) They love to be in charge over the BBQ, but sometimes the burgers left unattended can turn black or as I say: very well done :)


Grill the chicken until is cooked true. Feel free to cut a piece open to check if they are done.
Lick the fingers and Enjoy!
