🔥 Method
1️⃣ Marinate the chicken – Whisk olive oil, honey and mustard. Toss chicken to coat, then thread onto skewers, alternating with apple wedges.
2️⃣ Grill – Cook on a hot barbecue or grill for 10–12 minutes, turning until golden and cooked through.
3️⃣ Make the slaw – Combine cabbage, apple, spring onion and mayonnaise. Season well.
4️⃣ Serve – Pile the skewers onto a platter with the crisp apple slaw on the side.
💡 Tip: Brush the skewers with a little extra honey in the final minute for that glossy finish.
🥂 Why It Works
The sweetness of the apple balances the savoury smoke from the grill, while the slaw brings freshness and crunch. It’s simple, fast and perfect for spring barbecue weather.
