It’s full of immune-boosting ingredients including garlic, ginger and honey and is packed full of flavour.

“This honey soy chicken skewer recipe is quick, delicious and not to mention easy to make! Its great paired with a side salad and some rice or in a healthy wrap. If you don’t want to skewer the meat, grilled on its own with the marinade is just as good!” — Leah Itsines.
