This bit is easy. It’s just tikkafying the marinaded chicken. Only reason I’m doing a post about it is to reveal the Secret Incantation of the Sacrificial Potato. You’re going to skewer your chicken and need something to rest the skewers on so it’s suspended above the grill pan, right? Otherwise it sticks! So, get
