Mix together the garlic granules, onion granules, cumin, five-spice, salt, pepper and 3 tbsp water in a large bowl. Add the chicken, stir well and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour if possible (or overnight for the very best flavour).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2.

Thread the chicken chunks onto 4 long skewers (if you\u2019re using wooden skewers, soak them in warm water for at least 20 minutes first, so they don\u2019t burn). Spread out the skewers on a non-stick baking tray and cook on the middle shelf of the oven for 35 minutes or until cooked through. Serve with your favourite vegetables.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>More on the blog: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/blog\/discover-fancy-a-slimming-world-chinese\/\">Try some Slimming World wok-stars<\/a><\/strong> &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More for members&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/group-or-online-membership\">Join today<\/a> to unlock a full menu of Chinese-inspired recipes on the exclusive members-only app.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/offers\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/LargeCTA-StreetFoodCookbookOffer25_SlimmingWorldBlog_.jpg\" alt=\"NEW!
