Chicken & Chorizo Skewers

Tender pieces of fresh chicken, hand skewered with specially selected chorizo sausage & fresh red pepper.

There is something inherently exciting about barbecuing. Whether it's a planned occasion or an impromptu midweek affair, cooking outside always makes food taste great. Our chicken & chorizo skewers have been a real favourite with our customers for a number of years now & when I see out chefs making them I know that summer is just around the corner.


Preparation time: Delicious in just 14 minutes!
Servings: Serves 2

Cooking Instructions:

Fantastic on the grill
1. Preheat grill.
2. Remove all packaging & place skewers under a medium heat for 12-14 mins, turning occasionally until juices run clear.

Even better on the barbecue

2. Place skewers onto a barbecue over hot (but not flaming) coals for 12-14 mins, turning occasionally until juices run clear.

Check food is piping hot throughout. These instructions are a guide only: all grills vary & no two barbecue chefs are the same. Please don’t reheat once cooked!

Chorizo can be found as either picane (hot) or dulce (sweet), but only the former incorporates the fearsome chiles guindillas secas (small dried hot chillis).
