These Malaysian-style chicken skewers have a mildly spiced nutty flavour and a sweet sticky soy and honey glaze. They are cooked on wooden skewers which should be soaked for about 20 mins in cold water before using to prevent them burning. Serve with egg fried rice made by stir-frying cooked long grain rice in hot oil with a handful of frozen peas and sweetcorn. When the rice is piping hot add one beaten egg and stir-fry over a high heat for 1-2 mins until the egg is just set.
