Method

1. Use a small, sharp knife to remove the bones from the chicken thighs.
2. Slash through the skin of the chicken
To make the stuffing:
1. Beat the cream cheese to soften it, then stir in the olives, sun-dried tomatoes and seasoning
2. Divide the mixture between the chicken thighs, wrapping the chicken around the filling.
3. Place the stuffed chicken thighs in a shallow dish and spoon the marinade over
4. Leave to marinate for 2-3 hours.
5. Thread the marinated chicken thighs on to skewers, using 2 skewers for 4 thighs, as the double skewers will help to prevent them spinning around when they’re cooking.
6. Cook the chicken over a medium heat on the barbecue for about 15 minutes, turning them regularly, and brushing over any extra marinade
7. Take care to fully heat through any marinade, as it will contain some raw meat juices
8. Cook the chicken until the juices run clear when the flesh is pierced with the point of a knife
9. Remove from the barbecue and serve immediately
