ChillaxBBQ Chicken Kebab

ChillaxBBQ Chicken Kebabs

Yep, I went for it today for Marissa Knibbs’ birthday party. 80% new dishes were spun up, including this beauty. ChillaxBBQ Chicken Kebabs. Pretty simple to do actually, but it’s all in the sauce. That’s the knockout element to this absolute spanker of a dish. It’s quality in a pita.

ChillaxBBQ Chicken Kebabs were a massive hit with all ages, so I reckon this has now earnt it a place in our signature dishes. Here she comes. To make a bucket load of these you will need;

• 2 honey roasted chickens from Cold Storage or equivalent – simply strip down the meat;
• 2-3 packet of circular pita bread – cut them in half to have a semi-circle;
• A finely chopped lettuce;
• A roughly chopped red onion;
• 4 thinly sliced Heirloom (or equivalent) tomatoes;
• A tube of Japanese mayonnaise.

For the sauce;

• 4 garlic cloves;
• 2 roughly chopped shallots;
• Juice of one lemon;
• 10 roughly chopped Jalapeno chilis;
• 1″ of peeled young ginger;
• 2 tablespoons of Olive oil;
• 3 tablespoons of Balsamic Vinegar;
• 1 tablespoon of smoked Paprika (more if you want to up the heat of course);
• A good pinch of sea salt and cracked black pepper.

Put all the above ingredients for the sauce in a pan. Get that on the heat and bring to the boil, and then to a simmer for 5 or so minutes. You are muddling the flavours together basically. Once that is done get our your hand blender and whizz that up until there are no lumps. This is your chilli sauce for the ChillaxBBQ Chicken Kebabs.

When you are ready to go, simply follow these steps;

1. Toast the pita bread on the BBQ – then carefully with a sharp knife cut down to make a pocket;
2. Chargrill the chicken to warm that up at the same time;
3. In the pocket add in chicken and salad;
4. Slather on some chilli sauce;
5. Squeeze over some Japanese mayonnaise.

That is that. There is your ChillaxBBQ Chicken Kebabs. I placed these into a bread tin for serving. This is yet again an ingenious single serve BBQ dish from the crew. Believe me, this is knockout. We had requests for more and more. Hell yes, this is a cracker. Get on it now folks, you will seriously ENJOY!!!

Father of 3. All my kids are mixed, with English-Japanese, and English-Filipino - a recipe in the making there. I have been cooking since a small lad, as guided by my Nan and my Mum - gradually that morphed through exposure to Thai cooking from a lovely lady called Da in Margate. I used to hang out in her restaurant and watch the techniques. So the 1+1= greater than 2 occurred - Mum/Nan/Da - off I went in to the world of Asian cuisine. Moving to Asia in early 2000's clearly has brought that on somewhat - we travel continually, and eat locally and therefore have exposure to more and more new things. I have lived my dream and written a cook book whilst here, an amazing experience and all for a good cause too as I raised a lot of money for charity. My blog is now hopefully turning in to book number 2. Watch this space. I hope you enjoy my passion.
