RECIPE ESSENTIALS
  • Serves: 4 people  
  • BBQ setup: Direct cooking  
  • BBQ target temperature: 200–220°C  
  • Cooking time: 20–25 minutes
  • Preheat your gas BBQ for direct cooking, aiming for a temperature of 200-220°C. 

  • In a large bowl, combine the chicken breast pieces with the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic granules, onion granules, oregano, chilli flakes, salt and black pepper. Mix until all the chicken is evenly coated. 
  • Thread the seasoned chicken pieces evenly onto the soaked skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece to help them cook evenly. 

  • In a separate bowl, mix together the honey, hot sauce, and chilli flakes.
  • Place the skewers onto the BBQ and cook for 10–12 minutes, turning every 2–3 minutes until the chicken is nicely charred and almost cooked through. 

  • Remove the skewers from the BBQ and drizzle or brush over the hot honey while they're still hot, allowing the heat from the chicken to warm the glaze and coat each skewer evenly before serving.
