Burnt lime and honey chicken kebabs recipe
Soak eight wooden skewers in water overnight – this will stop them burning when they cook.

Roughly chop, skins and all, then scrape it all into a blender, along with the honey, tamari, hot sauce, olive oil and 1 teaspoon of salt. Blend to create a smooth marinade, then spoon 2 tablespoons of it into a bowl for later.Tip the chicken chunks into a medium-sized bowl and pour over the lime marinade.

Squeeze over the juice from the remaining lime and sprinkle over ½ teaspoon of salt. Scrunch the onions up with your hands to encourage them to start lightly pickling, then set aside.Once the hour is up, remove the chicken from the fridge.
