How to cook delicious chicken kebab
It is important to understand that from different parts chicken carcass You will get a different kind of kebab.
Chicken breast kebabs will be low-fat and tasty, but for this part you need good marinade, which will make the meat soft and juicy, since it does not contain any fat. But at the same time, the marinade for barbecue must contain some kind of oil, since any oil will cover a piece of chicken meat with a thin film, preventing the precious juice from leaking out.
From chicken thighs the kebab will be soft and juicy because these pieces contain natural fat and the thickness of the meat will not allow it to dry out too quickly when cooked on open coals. It is also convenient to place the thighs on skewers. If you leave the skin in place, it will become golden brown and crispy, and will also help keep the meat inside from drying out. But you will have to forget about the diet for a while.
Chicken drumsticks are slightly smaller in size than thighs, but just as tasty. If you are a dark meat chicken lover, then this is great option, since the portions are the same size, not too greasy and not too dry. They pickle quickly enough and are convenient to eat outdoors without cutlery.
Chicken wings are the most difficult to fry on skewers, but are very convenient on the grill. If you use hot and spicy marinades, it turns out amazing delicious snack for beer. Remember everyone’s favorite barbecue wings, which are on the menu of almost all beer restaurants.
When preparing chicken kebab, it is important to remember that chicken meat should not be marinated for too long, as this will make it tough. 1-2 hours in the marinade is enough for the soft chicken meat to acquire the desired aroma and taste.
If you bought frozen chicken rather than fresh, do not defrost it in the microwave or on the table, do it slowly in the refrigerator. This will also help the meat stay tender.
When dividing chicken into pieces for frying, make sure they are the same size. Please note that due to the bone in the middle, some pieces may take longer to cook than those without a bone.
If you salt chicken meat not during marinating, but before placing it on the fire or in a frying pan, the meat will be juicier, since the salt draws out the liquid.
The readiness of chicken kebab is checked by cutting one of the pieces; the meat juice should be clear and the bone should lose its reddish-brown tint. The meat should easily separate from the bone.

It is very difficult to make tender and juicy kebab from chicken fillet. As a rule, it dries out quickly and becomes hard. I had never made shish kebab from this meat, content with legs and thighs, but then I took a risk, finding a very interesting recipe on the Internet. The meat turned out so juicy and flavorful that it’s beyond words! Therefore, to this day this is our family’s favorite version of kebab. I highly recommend trying it.
Only this time I made it without onions, since picky children came to visit and couldn’t stand this vegetable. The meat was still tasty, but not as flavorful. Therefore, I advise you not to skimp on onions!
Here are the ingredients: chicken, lemon, mineral water, oil, herbs. I really love rosemary. Therefore, I added dried seasoning (due to the lack of fresh). My mom, for example, thinks it smells like cologne, so for her we only make it with parsley. As a rule, there is always a lot of this greenery in the summer. In a word, fresh tastes better and is more aromatic!
Cut the chicken into medium-sized portions.
Lemon rings. The onion is also in rings and quite thick (at least 5 mm). More is possible.
I cook shish kebab in a marinator, but you can use any container. Place meat and onions on the bottom, and oil on top (no more than 100 ml) and mineral water. It should completely cover the breasts. Top with salt and spices. I marinate in the marinator for 2 cycles, and without it for 4 hours.
After the specified time has passed, we string the meat onto a skewer, alternating with onions (every other). There is no need for lemon on the skewer, as it will be bitter.
You need to fry quickly, about 5 - 7 minutes on each side, otherwise the breasts will dry out! Although it all depends on the coals.
Here is the finished kebab! You can shoot!
Before serving, juicy chicken breast kebab should be garnished with fresh herbs. large quantities. We have leaf celery and parsley.
For those who like something sour, serve lemon. Meat goes very well with lemon juice.
Chicken breast shashlik is ready. Bon appetit!
