Golden Chicken Kebabs

This is an easy, flavourful way of preparing boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs.

The meat is trimmed of fat, cubed and marinated in a mixture of plain yogurt, garlic and saffron. It soaks for 3-24 hours so it's easy to prepare in advance.

The kebabs cook very quickly, 10 minutes on the grill or under the broiler and they're done, making them perfect for a busy weeknight. The meat is juicy and tender, and flavoured with garlic and the earthy flavour of saffron. As with buttermilk, you don't taste the yogurt, it just seems to enhance the natural flavour of the chicken.

Tastes great hot or cold...this is one of my favourite ways to prepare chicken.
