Instructions

  • Place ginger, garlic, lime juice, soy/tamari sauce, stevia/honey, peri-peri sauce and coriander in a large bowl and mix together well.  Place cubed chicken in the bowl with the marinade and mix thoroughly, ensuring chicken is well coated.  Tip the contents of the bowl into a freezer bag, remove air and place in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours.   Pre-soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.  Thread chicken cubes on to each skewer, placing a chunk of onion between each one or two pieces of chicken.
