BLACK BEAN CHICKEN SKEWERS

Marinated chicken kebabs, bursting with Asian flavours. Black bean sauce is readily available to buy in bottles.

MAKES 12

● 3tbsp black bean sauce

● 1tsp finely grated fresh root ginger

● 1tsp sesame oil

● 2tsp runny honey

● 2 skinless and boneless chicken breasts, each sliced into 6 long strips

You will need 12 wooden skewers, soaked in cold water for 30 minutes. (This prevents them burning when cooking.)

Measure the black bean sauce, grated ginger, sesame oil and honey into a bowl. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and stir to mix. Add the chicken strips and stir to coat. Marinate for about 30 minutes.

Preheat the grill to high and line a baking sheet with foil.

Thread the chicken strips on to the skewers and arrange in a single layer on the baking sheet. Grill the chicken on the highest grill shelf for 5-6 minutes, until golden on both sides and cooked through. Serve at once.
