Step by step

Step 1: Preparations

Cut the chicken thigh fillet into 2 cm cubes. Rub with the rub and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes. Cut the spring onion into 2 cm pieces, the limes into 6 wedges each. Wash the tomatoes and peel the celery stalks with a peeler until the tender interior remains. Keep the young inner stalks with foliage whole for garnishing later and cut the rest into 2-inch pieces. Season the tomato juice with lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, California Hot Sauce, salt and pepper. Place in the refrigerator. Fire up the barbecue to 180 ̊C.

Step 2: Grill

Prick a lime wedge first and then alternately chicken, tomatoes, pieces of spring onion and celery on a wooden skewer.
Place the chicken skewers on the grill and cook until the chicken has a core temperature of 74 ̊C. When doing this, keep an eye on the tomatoes to make sure they stay whole as much as possible. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 3: Serve

Put some of the tomato juice in a low, wide glass and top with a splash of vodka as desired. Place a chicken skewer on the glass and garnish with celery, basil and what’s left of the tomatoes and lime.
