Soy & Peanut Chicken Kebabs

Here is a marvellous marinade that is so versatile. Delicious on whole chicken pieces, or chicken fillets, it’s a marinade that I’ve been making for years with little tweaks here and there. Sometimes instead of spring onion I finely chop a shallot or 1/2 onion. Sometimes I use ginger, sometimes I don’t. Make the recipe work for you, but please do give it a try. I’ve given the recipe for a conventional oven, but these kebabs are an absolute winner on the BBQ, just remember pork fillet needs very little cooking and it’s perfectly fine to serve it just cooked through, or even a little blushing.
