Ingredients
- 2 kg chicken thigh fillets
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 small brown onion, roughly chopped
- 1½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 pinch of sugar
- 20 long skewers
To serve
- 1 red onion, cut into thin rings

Makes: about 20 skewers
Marinating time: 2 hours
Instructions
Combine the chicken, olive oil, lemon juice, onion, salt, pepper and sugar in a non-reactive bowl and marinate for at least 2 hours but preferably overnight.
Thread the chicken onto skewers. Grill over open coals on a barbecue (or on a grill pan) and transfer to a large serving platter, removing the meat from the skewers. Arrange in layers, scattering each layer generously with coriander, parsley, sumac and onion, season with a little more salt, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
