Notes
- We made these as mini skewers, as they are great for sharing at a dinner party or on a party food table. But you could cut the chicken in to larger chunks and thread on to bigger skewers.
- Make sure you choose smoked paprika and buy the best quality that you can. You really will taste the difference.
- This has a little kick of heat from the chilli powder, however you could leave it out.
- These are best when marinated for at least 4 hours. However, they can be made ahead of time and kept in the fridge for 24 hours.
- We cooked ours on a griddle pan, as it was rally quick. However these can also be cooked under the grill, in the oven or on the BBQ. Cooking times will vary though.
