Perth, Western Australia, has a heat wave coming this weekend! That will mean minimal cooking inside, lots of barbecuing and salads for us!
Get the kids involved in making these as it is a bit mind numbing! Make sure they have an apron on and no white shirts in sight as the paprika infused oil does not wash out easily!
Makes 22-26 skewers. Serves 6.
Ingredients
6 teaspoons smoked paprika
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
3 teaspoons dried oregano
1/2-1 teaspoon ground chilli
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
salt and pepper
60mls olive oil
1.2 kg skinless chicken thighs, fat removed and cut to 1cm dice
180g Haloumi, cut I to 20-30 cubes
1 large red onion, cut to 1-2cm pieces
Method
Combine all of the ingredients except Haloumi and onion in a large zip lock bag and leave in the fridge to marinade for 2-24 hours.
Soak your wooden skewers for 30 minutes.
Preheat the barbecue flat plate to medium hot.
Prepare your first skewer, I like to start with onion and then chicken, onion, chicken, onion, Haloumi, onion, chicken, onion, chicken, onion, but that’s just me!
Prepare all of the skewers and then pop them onto the barbecue and cook, turning regularly, until the chicken is cooked through.
I would LOVE to see a heat wave! It’s quite wintery here in the states at the moment. Brrrr. The chicken sounds delicious!
Thanks Shantara, we are heading for a week in the 40s(110s)here, I might be a puddle by the end of the week! π Ros

These sound yummy..good choice with haloumi…it can stand the heat!
Thanks betzabroad! Haloumi is fab on the BBQ and I think a little less squeaky! π Ros
Love chicken thigh cooked on skewers – so much tastier than other cuts. Enjoy the heatwave Ros!
I suspect that I might melt and just be a puddle by the end of this week Laura! π Ros
