These pinchos are very flavorful and moist! I omitted the coriander and the tumeric. Also I cooked them in a cast aluminum pan. They came out perfect!

Instructions
Step 1
Cut the chicken into small flat pieces (approx 2.5 inches x 1.5 inches) and put into a large freezer bag.
Step 2
Mix all spices, olive oil and lemon juice in a bowl and then pour over the chicken pieces.
Step 3
IMPORTANT: Seal the bag and toss the spice mixture with the chicken, then marinate in the fridge overnight (or a MINIMUM OF 2 HOURS)
Step 4
Remove the marinated chicken pieces and place on skewers with a little bit of space between each piece.
Step 5
Grill (or cook in cast iron or aluminum pan) on a high heat until browned on the outside but just cooked through (don't overcook!)
Step 6
Rest the skewers for five minutes and serve with lemon wedges
Ingredient Notes:
Step 7
• Chicken: These work beautifully using pork tenderloin or lamb as well.
Step 8
• Spices: There is no exact spice blend you must use for these. Adjust as you like.
To Store:
Step 9
You can store leftover pinchos in the fridge in an airtight container for up to three days.
Step 10
I recommend taking them off of the skewers if storing for more than 24h.
Step 11
You can also remove the meat from the skewer and freeze for up to three months.
