Ingredients |
1 heaped tsp cumin seeds

serve
2 tbsp olive oil

-
Toast the cumin seeds in a dry
pan until fragrant then grind to a powder using a pestle
and mortar.
-
Put the chicken in a shallow
bowl with all the other ingredients, plus some freshly
ground black pepper. Toss in the marinade, then cover and
leave at room temperature for 1 hour (or in the fridge
overnight).
-
Heat a large griddle or frying
pan over a medium-high heat. Season the chicken
generously with salt, mix well and then add to the pan
without shaking off any excess marinade. Leave for 2-3
minutes without moving, to char and brown, then turn the
chicken pieces over and cook for a further 2-3 minutes,
until cooked through - you might need to do this in two
batches. Skewer, if you like, and serve with extra orange
wedges for squeezing over.
