Ingredients

BBQ Chicken Skewers

• 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp ground coriander
• 1/4 tsp chilli flakes
• 1/4 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp ground pepper
• 1 garlic clove, minced

Pear and Cabbage Slaw

Method

1. In a large bowl, combine BBQ sauce, olive oil, smoked paprika, ground coriander, chilli flakes, dried oregano, salt, pepper, garlic and minced ginger. Chop chicken into small bite-sized pieces and add to the marinade. Mix to coat, then cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or as long as time permits (up to 24 hours).
2. Preheat BBQ and thread chicken onto skewers, then cook, turning occasionally, until completely cooked; about 10-12 minutes.
3. Finely slice the cabbage, chives and dill, then grate the pear. Transfer to a large bowl and pour over olive oil and vinegar, then season with salt and pepper.
4. Divide salad and chicken skewers between plates and serve with crusty bread.
