Heat the grill to high. Thread the chicken pieces onto four metal skewers, leaving any excess marinade behind, packing in the pieces so they are all touching. Put onto a baking tray and cook under the grill for 4-5 minutes or until charred, then flip and repeat until cooked through and charred all over.

Serve with flatbreads, raita, shredded lettuce and some pink pickled onions, if you like.
