Barbecue-glazed Chicken Skewers
Bone the chicken thighs and cut the meat into large dice. Thread the spring onions (scallions) and chicken onto 12 skewers.
To prepare the chicken wings, remove the wing tip at the first joint. Chop through the second joint, revealing the two narrow bones. Take
hold of the bones with a clean cloth and pull, turning the meat around the bones inside out. Remove the smaller bone and set aside.
Measure the basting sauce ingredients into a stainless steel or enamel saucepan and simmer until reduced by two-thirds. Cool. Heat the
grill (broiler) to a moderately high temperature. Grill (broil) the skewers without applying any oil. When juices begin to emerge from the chicken
baste liberally with the basting sauce. Allow a further 3 minutes for the chicken on skewers and not more than 5 minutes for the wings.
