TO COOK - Thread the chicken strips onto the skewers (yes, it's very messy). Brush the barbecue hotplate with oil and cook the kebabs for about 3–4 minutes each side until lightly charred in spots and fully cooked. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the chicken. Brush the kebabs with melted butter and cook for another 30 seconds each side.
