Quick and easy: Lemon and herb chicken sosaties
Mat Hartley of Braai 365 shares his quick and simple recipe for lemon and herb chicken sosaties.
As always, first things first, we are not chefs, we are braai masters. I don’t use specific measurements but rather just gooi (throw) things together. I like to keep things simple!
If you don’t have all the ingredients (other than the meat) act like the braai master you are and make a plan!

Ingredients
-
1/2 kg chicken, cut into cubes
-
juice from 2 lemons
-
half a pineapple (cut into cubes)
-
garlic and herb spices
-
1 teaspoon olive oil
-
Method
- MARINADE
- Throw the oil, lemon juice and about a teaspoon of spices into a bowl and mix.
- Now add in the chicken, and mix about for a few seconds
- Pop this into the fridge and let it stand for 3 hours.
- METHOD – SKEWER
- Grab some metal or wood skewers (if you are using wood skewers, make sure you soak them in water to make sure they don’t go up in flames!)
- Skewer the chicken and pineapple, alternating to how much you want on each skewer
- This is cooked on a medium heat (you are able to hold your hand over the grid for about 7 seconds) directly over the coals.
- These should take about 15 minutes or so, and you’ll know when they done when the chicken has turned white inside. I check by grabbing a piece off the end and testing it.
Notes
- You can carry on basting the chicken with the left over lemon juice marinade from before whilst cooking.
