Perfect for families, these skewers come ready to assemble with our 400g diced chicken bundle and wooden skewers.

Ingredients (Serves 2–3)

  • 400g organic diced chicken from our DIY skewer bundle

  • Wooden skewers (included in the bundle)

  • Glaze:

    • 2 tbsp soy sauce

    • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup

    • 1 tsp sesame oil

    • 1 clove garlic, minced

    • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger

    • 1 tsp rice vinegar (optional for a tangy twist)

  • 1 tsp sesame seeds, for sprinkling


Method

  1. Prepare the chicken:
    Pat the diced chicken dry. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15 minutes to prevent burning.

  2. Assemble the skewers:
    Thread the chicken evenly onto the wooden skewers.

  3. Make the glaze:
    In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and rice vinegar until smooth.

  4. Cook the skewers:

    • Oven method: Preheat the oven to 200°C fan (220°C conventional). Place skewers on a lined baking tray. Brush generously with the glaze and roast for 15–20 minutes, turning halfway, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly caramelised.

    • Grill/BBQ method: Preheat your grill or BBQ to medium heat. Cook the skewers for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally and brushing with glaze, until cooked and golden.

  5. Finish and serve:
    Remove the skewers from heat and brush with any remaining glaze. Sprinkle generously with sesame seeds. Serve as a fun finger food or alongside simple sides like steamed rice or a fresh salad.


Tips for Maximum Flavor

  • Extra sticky: Brush the glaze on a second time in the last 2–3 minutes of cooking for a glossy finish.

  • Spice it up: Add a pinch of chilli flakes to the glaze for a little kick.

  • Family-friendly: Let the kids brush on the glaze before cooking — great for keeping them involved in the meal prep!


This Bonfire Night chicken skewer recipe is simple, fun, and packed with flavour. Perfect for a cosy family evening or as part of a festive feast!
