Cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp. salt from the
measured amount and the lemon juice. Mix thoroughly, cover and leave for
30 minutes. Place the rest of the ingredients in a blender or food
processor and mix until smooth. Strain the sauce over the chicken through a
strainer. Force the mixture through using the back of a spoon and discard
anything left.

Coat the chicken thoroughly with the strained marinade, cover and leave to
marinate for 6-8 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

Thread the chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving a 1/4-inch gap between
pieces. Grill over glowing coal and cook on each side until chicken is
brown on all sides. Continuously baste with the marinade. Let meat cool a
bit before removing from the skewers. Serve with onion relish.
