Honey-marinated chicken kebabs, in the middle of a well-stocked cookout table: sausages, bacon rolls, drumsticks, jacket potatoes and tomato salad.

The cubed chicken marinates in olive oil, cumin, ground coriander and a spoonful of honey, ideally overnight. As it cooks, it’s brushed with the marinade mixed with a little more honey.

The honey caramelizes over the coals and gives the kebabs a lovely color.
