½ cup olive oil
⅓ cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 to 1 cup mint leaves
lemon wedges, to serve
⅓ cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 to 1 cup mint leaves
lemon wedges, to serve
Whisk paprika, chili, garlic, salt, olive oil and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl, add chicken and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or up to 3 hours.
Heat a stovetop grill pan or barbecue over high heat. Thread the chicken onto skewers* and char-grill or barbecue for 3–4 minutes* or until cooked through. Sprinkle with mint leaves and serve with lemon wedges.
Donna's recipe instructs to grill for 3 to 4 minutes or until cooked through. I cooked about 3 to 4 minutes per side, until cooked through. Don't overcook or the thighs will be tough.
*For easier turning and serving, I skewer 2 thighs on two parallel skewers.
