Ingredients

1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
¼ teaspoon white pepper
1 garlic clove minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb chicken tenders or chicken breasts you have cut up yourself
12 wooden skewers (soaked in water to prevent burning)
Fresh thyme or parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

Add the sugar, salt, cinnamon, thyme leaves, white pepper, minced garlic, and olive oil into a large zip lock bag. Squish everything about until it is well mixed.
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
¼ teaspoon white pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
Place the chicken tenders into the bag and massage them with the marinade.
1 lb chicken tenders
Leave to marinade for at least an hour, but preferably overnight.
When you are ready to cook, remove the chicken from the bag and thread onto the skewers. (see notes)
Get a large frying pan or griddle pan, super hot and add the skewers to the pan. Turn the heat to medium and allow them to cook for 4 minutes before turning them and giving them a further 3-4 minutes until cooked through.
Serve with a sprinkling of fresh thyme or parsley.

Notes

If you want to serve these up at a party and have all the prep done in advance. Then skewer the chicken before you marinade it. But I would suggest marinading in a baking dish (or something similar) instead of a ziplock bag.
