    Chicken Kebab is a delicious chicken starter where the chicken is marinated in spices and grill cooked to perfection.

    Chicken Kebab

    Chicken Kebab is sure a crowd pleaser. It is a very popular food on any restaurant menu.

    The same recipe can be made using a barbeque, but today I am sharing the version in the oven as many may not be able to do barbeque in cities.

    Alternatively, chicken can be fried but kabab is way better than that as it uses less oil and we can enjoy the juicy chicken guilt free.

    Chicken Kebab can be served with Green Chutney, Tomato Sauce and Mayo

    kebabs chicken

    Chicken Kebab is a juicy chicken appetizer. Boneless cubes along with Onion and Bell peppers marinated overnight with a delicious marinated. The marinated chicken is threaded on skewers and cooked to perfection.

    Marinade for chicken kebabs

    Marination is the most important part of the chicken kabobs preparation. It not only enhances the flavors it also tenderizes the meat.

    Hung Curd or yogurt is the base for marination. We add the spices to the yogurt and combine well to get the marinade.

    Make sure the yogurt is really thick and not watery. You can use add greek yogurt or hung curd.

    Along with the yogurt, we add the basic Indian spices mix well, and bring it to a fine paste consistency without lumps. To this, we will add the chicken and Onion cubes and marinate them overnight.

    Chicken Kabab

    Tips & Variations

    • chicken seekh kabab is another popular kebab variety. Here ground meat is dolloped over skewers and cooked.
    • Chicken Tikka is very similar to the kebab. however, we use chicken pieces with bones and the marinade slightly varies.
    • Reshmi Kabab is another popular variation. Here we use cream (malai), cashew paste along with yogurt for the marinade. This is a richer version of chicken kebab.
    • You can also stuff the chicken kebeb in roti or tortilla along with pickled onion, tomato, and green chutney and serve as chicken kabab rolls. A yummy after-school snack.
    • If using bamboo skewers soak them in water for at least 10 mins and then use. Else the skewers might blacken or even catch fire at times. as you bake.
    • The baking time is different from oven to oven. So keep checking after 25- 30 mins. also make sure you flip and cook for even cooking.
    • You can also cook the kebab in the air fryer or even stovetop.
    • If cooking in the air fryer. Preheat the air fryer and cook at 200 Deg C for 15 min. flip halfway and cook.

    Serving Suggestions

    It is a perfect party or potluck appetizer. Goes well as a starter along with some kebab green chutney, ketchup, or mayonnaise. Drizzle in some lemon juice and serve the chicken.

    Storing Suggestion

    Keeps well for 3 days in the fridge. Store in airtight containers or in zip locks.

    • 1 tbsp Ginger garlic paste
    • 1 tsp Red Chilli powder
    • ½ tsp Kashmiri Red Chili powder
    • Salt as needed

    Instructions 

    • In a bowl take the Yogurt, Oil, Ginger Garlic paste, Chilli powder, Salt, and Garam Masala.
    • Mix everything together to form a fine paste now add in the Lemon juice and mix well.
    • To the masala now add in the cubed boneless chicken pieces and cubed onion as shown in the pic. Mix it well, Cling wrap and allow it to marinate overnight.

The colour of the onion and chicken will change once they are cooked. It took 40 mins for me to grill. But this time may vary from Oven.

    Notes

    • Insert the skewers in hot water before using in the oven so that it may not get dark soon.
    • The longer we marinate the juicer the chicken will be so don’t skip to marinate overnight.
    • If we couldn’t marinate the chicken overnight at least marinate chicken in refrigerator 2 hours before cooking.
    • This is a very healthy way of cooking chicken as we use very less oil for the entire process.
    • After every 10 mins when we are flipping and grilling the chicken brush with oil for a nice taste.
    • Serve as a starter with Green Chutney and Tomato Sauce.
