For the toum, blitz the peeled garlic cloves and salt in a food processor to a paste. Scrape down.

With the motor running, add the sunflower oil in a very slow thread, a little lemon juice and water in between, until thick, white and fluffy like mayonnaise.

Thread the chicken onto skewers. Heat a grill or griddle pan to high.
