Notes
Fridge/Freezer Instructions
Fridge - These Chicken Kebabs keep well in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Freezer - To freeze these kebabs, you will need to flash freeze them first. Which means, freeze them flat on a baking tray first to make sure they freeze quickly, evenly and without getting stuck together. Then you can remove them to a ziplock bag or wrap the entire tray in cling film/foil.
To cook from the freezer - These kebabs can be cooked directly from the freezer on the grill. Grill them, covered, over medium-high heat, turning frequently, for around 15 - 20 minutes. Or in the oven for 15 - 20 minutes.
