Chicken Teriyaki Kebabs

With its authentic Japanese flavour, this is a succulent and impressive way to serve chicken as a starter. To make spring onion tassels for the garnish, trim the onions and cut the green part into fine strips. Place in a bowl of iced water and leave to stand for about 30 minutes; drain on kitchen paper.

1 teaspoon demerara sugar
2 tablespoons dry sherry
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh root ginger
1 clove garlic, crushed
