I was a bit nervous by the amount of coverage of the seasonings on the chicken. It was completly covered. The flavor was not too strong though. It could have used some more salt. It is a good recipe, but nothing special.
Middle Eastern Chicken Skewers
Flavorful wet rub of olive oil and Middle Eastern spices For a bit of heat, add a dash of cayenne. Small vegetables, such as cherry tomatoes or baby onions, could be added to the skewers. Spices may be toasted for a smokier flavor: place all seasonings, including salt, in a dry skillet over low heat. Heat, stirring often, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until aromatic. Cool and proceed with recipe. Whole chicken breasts can be used, with longer cooking at a lower temperature. Leftovers make an excellent chicken salad. W-S Journal
