Next add the spice powders along with Salt. I am using Chili powder, Garam Masala and Turmeric powder.
And then add Ginger garlic paste and Oil.
Combine everything without lumps and the marinade is ready.
Finally squeeze in lemon juice and combine once again.
Prepare the Skewers:
To the prepared marinade now add cubed or even sized bone less chicken pieces and cubed onions.
Combine everything so the masala evenly coats over the chicken and onion.
Arrange the chicken and onions in skewer as alternate layer. Let it marinate for 2-4 hours in the fridge.
Cooking Methods:
We can cook the chicken kebab in air fryer , oven or grill. Today i have cooked them in air fryer.
Air Fryer
Preheat the air fryer at 200 C / 400 F for 5 mins. Now arrange the chicken kebab and sprinkle or brush with oil.
Air fry them at 180 C / 356 F for 28 mins. Make sure you flip them couple of times and brush oil. I stopped after every 8 mins brushed them with oil and flipped sides just to ensure even cooking on all sides.
Oven
Preheat the oven to 200 Deg C for about 10 mins.
Bake the Chicken at 200 Deg C for about 10 mins and then flip and grill for another 10 mins. Continue to grill till the chicken is perfectly cooked. It took 40 mins for the chicken to get cooked perfectly.
Grill
Arrange the chicken skewers in the grill. Prefer steel skewers if cooking in grill , wooden ones get burnt easily.
Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. Cooking in grill has the beautiful char marks and smokey flavor and it is the traditional method.
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.
