Method

  • Step 1 Run your fingers down 1 rosemary stalk to remove two-thirds of the leaves from the rosemary lower part of the stalk. Reserve leaves. Repeat with the remaining stalks.
  • Step 2 Finely chop the reserved rosemary leaves to make 2 tablespoonfuls.
  • Step 3 Combine the chopped rosemary, chicken, garlic, lemon juice and oil in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 3 hours to marinate.
  • Step 4 Meanwhile, combine the lemon rind and sea salt in a small bowl. Season with pepper.
  • Step 5 Use a metal skewer to pierce the chicken. Thread chicken onto the rosemary skewers. Preheat a chargrill on medium-high. Spray with oil. Cook half the chicken skewers for 3-4 minutes each side or until cooked through. Transfer to a serving platter and cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining chicken skewers. Sprinkle with the lemon salt.
