Method
- Make a marinade by combining the paprika, cumin, coriander, thyme, garlic, oil, vinegar and some seasoning in a large bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Cover and chill overnight, or for at least 2 hours.
- Meanwhile, combine all the dipping sauce ingredients in bowl. Cover and chill until needed.
- Soak 16 wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes (this will prevent them from catching during cooking).
- Preheat the grill to medium-high. Thread the chicken onto the skewers and arrange in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Grill the chicken (in batches, if needed) for 5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
- Arrange the chicken skewers on a platter and serve with the dipping sauce and extra lime wedges.
