Flavour of the Month

This recipe shows an easy and tasty way to add variety to your usual barbecue, and is sure to tempt even the most traditional barbecue enthusiast!   This recipe uses chicken, but it can be easily substituted for pork, beef or tofu.  Regardless of what ever "meat" you choose, it can be threaded onto skewers and made into kebabs.  Chicken thigh fillets are ideal to grill using an indoor grill, chargrill pan or barbecue as thigh fillets have lots of flavour and are very tender. Chicken Yakitori is served with a green salad that has loads of taste and is great for a barbecue. Enjoy!
