Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Chicken Kebabs.
Step 1
Start by grabbing a large bowl and mixing together the creamy yogurt, zesty lemon juice, flavorful onion juice, rich olive oil, minced garlic, a sprinkle of black pepper, and a pinch of saffron.
Step 2
Stir everything together until you have a smooth and fragrant marinade that will infuse your chicken with delicious flavors.
Step 3
Next, add your chicken cubes to the bowl, making sure each piece is generously coated in the marinade.
Step 4
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or even better, overnight.
Step 5
This allows the flavors to really soak in and tenderize the chicken.
Step 6
When you're ready to cook, fire up your outdoor grill to a medium-high heat and give the grill grate a light oiling to keep your chicken from sticking.
Step 7
Now, take the marinated chicken out of the fridge and thread the pieces onto skewers, discarding any leftover marinade.
Step 8
Place the skewers on the hot grill and let them cook for about 8 minutes on each side.
Step 9
Remember to turn them frequently to achieve that perfect golden brown color and ensure the chicken is cooked through, with no pink remaining in the center.
Step 10
As the aroma fills the air, you’ll know you’re in for a treat! Enjoy your flavorful grilled chicken skewers, perfect for a summer gathering or a cozy dinner at home.
