Method

1. Soak the sosatie sticks in water for 10 minutes. This will prevent them from burning when you cook the chicken.

2. Mix together the Flavourbomb Spice Mix (see recipe on Zola Nene website), chutney, fresh chilli, and salt and pepper. Add the chunks of chicken and mix into the marinade until evenly coated.

3. Skewer the chicken onto the sosatie sticks, alternating with the apricots. You can leave the sosaties to marinate overnight at this stage, if you wish.

4. Cook the sosaties on the braai over medium coals or in a griddle pan until the chicken is cooked through and golden.
