i made these tonight and they were basically inedible. i thought that i must have made a mistake. After double checking, i learn that i didn't. They tasted like chorizo which wouldn't have been bad had it not been for the texture. It was horribly grainy...like eating sand.

Excellent!!!! What a wonderful appetizer. I didn't have any hot paprika so used what I had on hand (sweet) and added a heaped teaspoon of minced red chillies. Cooked these on the barbecue for approximately fifteen minutes and they were perfect. Thanks for a great recipe.

These were a hit tonight at our Christmas tapas party. They were easy to make, and like another reviewer, we marinated the chicken, then threaded it on the skewers. I disn't have spicy paprika, so used a mix of sweet and smoked paprika and cayenne. Peopel were fighting for this dish.

These little things are a great appetizer! The only difference was that I absolutely can't find hot paprika around here so I used the sweet Hungarian kind + some cayenne. I added a little bit more cumin and cilantro, too, two of my favorites... it was very easy, too. I marinated chicken cubes, then put them on the soaked skewers. Delicious treat! Thanks for posting this!
