Cooking meat on skewers in the oven can be tricky. Cooking the meat without drying out the meat or burning the skewers is a real balancing act. When you add steam into the equation though things get much easier and definitely tastier.
If you dont have a steam oven, this recipe works really well in a sandwich press . If you use a dry oven or a barbeque then soak the skewers for an hour in water before threading with the chicken.
If you are lucky enough to have a Smeg BBQ tray this will give wonderful results.
