1. To make the marinade, combine all the ingredients to make a paste.
2. Place the chicken in the marinade, making sure each piece is well coated, cover with clingwrap and marinate in the fridge overnight.
3. Thread the chicken onto skewers, alternating with the onion, tomatoes and peppers. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Grill over hot coals, turning frequently, until the chicken is cooked through and golden. Serve with toum (garlic sauce), batata harra (chilli potatoes) and flatbread.
