Give chicken skewers a solid flavour zing with classic Asian flavours and a spicy dipping sauce.

2 long red chillies, seeds removed, finely chopped
6 spring onions, white part only, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2cm piece ginger, finely grated
1/2 cup (175g) honey
Juice of 3 lemons, plus lemon zest to serve
1 cup (250ml) light soy sauce
1kg chicken breast fillets, trimmed, cut into 1.5cm cubes
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted

Dipping sauce

1/2 cup (125ml) soy sauce
4 long red chillies, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons sesame oil
4 spring onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar

Method

1.

Combine the chilli, onion, garlic, ginger, honey, lemon juice and soy in a bowl. Thread chicken onto small metal skewers or soaked wooden skewers, about 4 pieces per skewer. Place in a glass or ceramic dish and pour over marinade. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours.
2.

Preheat oven to 150°C and line 2 baking trays with baking paper. Heat a lightly oiled chargrill pan over medium-high heat. In batches, cook skewers for 6-8 minutes, turning, until cooked through. Place on the trays and keep warm in the oven while you cook the remaining skewers.
3.

For the dipping sauce, combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Set aside.
4.

Sprinkle the skewers with sesame seeds and lemon zest and serve warm with the dipping sauce.
