Ingredients

• Skin on, boneless chicken thighs, slightly frozen
• Green onions
• Lemon
• Cumin powder
• Coriander powder
• Onion powder
• White pepper powder
• Black pepper powder
• Smoked paprika
• Fried shallots/onions
• Bamboo skewers ( soaked in water )

Directions

1. Cut the chicken thighs in 2 inches size chunks.
2. Skewers some of these pieces as shown per skewer. Sprinkle some sea salt, paprika and some chilli flakes.
3. Prepare different combinations of spice powder sprinkled over the chicken as shown in the video. You be creative by experimenting with different spice combination on the skewers.
4. Chop the green onions in bits and put them in a bowl. Add a couple of spoons of sesame seed oil and some salt to taste.
5. Place the skewers on the grill at a medium heat and keep turning them constantly, cook them slow as this keeps the chicken moist.
6. Squeeze some lemon juice over the chicken as it is cooking over the grills. Will take about 3 to 4 minutes to do.
