Azeri Chicken Skewers

Ingredients:

• Chicken (we used chicken breast) (cubed into 3 cm cubes), 1 kg 800 gr
• Plain yoghurt, 360 ml
• Onions (finely chopped), 2
• Garlic cloves (finely chopped), 4
• Hot paprika, 1/2 tsp
• Sweet (hungarian) paprika, 3/4 tsp
• Saffron threads (ground in 1 tbs warm water), 1/2 tsp
• Fresh mint (finely chopped), 45 gr
• Salt

Preparation:

In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients. Stir thoroughly to combine, then cover and place in the fridge to marinate overnight.

The following day, soak your wooden skewers for at least 1 hour in a large bowl of water and heat your barbecue (we used a grill pan).

Thread the chicken pieces on the skewers and cook for around 8 minutes per side or until completely cooked through.

Take any left over marinade and use to brush the chicken as it cooks.
