I've tried to make falafel a few times before without much success; it seems to fall apart when I cook it.

So welcome my Sticky Chicken Skewers into your kitchen. They take just minutes to prepare and the whole meal (including potatoes and tomato salad) is on the table in well under 30 minutes. Just because it’s quick cooking
