Method

Mix your Marinade ingredients together, and then mix in with Chicken. To Skewer your Chicken, place approx. 5 cubes of Chicken onto each Skewer. Place onto a platter and cover with cling film and refrigerate until ready to cook. I usually do this in the morning to cook before dinner. Reserve your left over Marinade to use later during the cooking process. Place leftover Marinade in a Tupperware and refrigerate.

When ready to cook, heat your pan with your Cooking Oil until hot. On medium-high heat cook your Chicken for approx. 2 minutes per side, and then place onto a baking sheet lined with Parchment Paper. Brush your Skewers with the remaining Marinade on both sides. Finish Skewers in a 400F oven for 7 minutes turning once halfway. Alternatively, you could cook them stove top until cooked through, omitting the oven, or cook them on a grill.

To make Tahini Sauce, in a large bowl and a small whisk, mix Tahini with Water, adding it bit by bit until smooth. Add in Lemon and Salt to taste. Add a littlemore Water if needed. Garnish with Parsley.
