This recipe for sriracha and lime marinated chicken skewers appeared in the July 2018 Olive magazine. As well as looking delicious, they taste absolutely delicious...there's heat from the sriracha, that is balanced with the yogurt and freshness from the lime.
It's a great recipe to enjoy cooked on the barbecue when the sun is shining or can be cooked inside on a griddle if the weather isn't being so kind!
Tips
- Skewers - I use 25cm metal skewers to cook the chicken (2 fillets will fit on each skewer) and then transfer individual cooked fillets onto wooden skewers to serve.
- Per the instructions below, the chicken needs to be marinated for 3 to 4 hours, but preferably overnight.
- This sriracha and lime marinated chicken skewers recipe is easily adapted if you're cooking for less or more people.
