Nice blend of flavors with the curry & tomato juice. I like to put some mushrooms and maybe a cherry tomato or two on the skewers.

1 red pepper, seeded, membranes removed and cut into 1 inch squares
1 green pepper, seeded, membranes removed cut into 1 inch squares

  • Place skewered kebabs in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the kebabs Cover, place in fridge for at least 2 hours, turn occasionally so all sides are well coated.

BBQ CHICKEN KEBABS

Tangy and flavorful. You may also do these skewers in the oven 325 F apprx 20 min. check to see that no pink remains when cut through. If you do not like yogurt use sour cream or whipped cottage cheese with a couple of tbsp of low fat cream cheese added. A short cut to the final BBQ time is to partially cook the chicken in the marinade in a skillet until the chicken is just beginning to brown, then thread it onto the skewers and keep in fridge until you are ready to BBQ - only takes 10 minutes on a pre heated grill. Do not miss squeezing the fresh lime juice on as you are BBQing them - it gives a lovely zing.

BIG BARBECUE CHICKEN KEBAB

Barbecuing for more than four people? Prepare a large chicken kebab to carve, then the cooking is done in one go - and you can enjoy the party

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 15

12 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
500g Greek yogurt
2 lemons, juiced, ½ lemon zested
100ml olive oil
4 garlic cloves, very finely grated or crushed
1 tbsp ground coriander
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp sweet paprika
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp crushed black pepper
½ tsp ground cinnamon
2 red onions, halved and finely sliced
4 tomatoes (plum work well) halved and sliced

Steps:

  • First, whisk all the marinade ingredients together with 1 tsp salt in a large bowl or, better still, a large plastic container that has a lid. Open out each chicken thigh, cover with a piece of baking parchment and flatten it with your hand, then lift off the paper and cut the thigh in half. Tip into the marinade and mix so it's completely coated. Cover, chill and marinate for at least 1 hr or up to 24 hrs - the longer, the better.
  • Thread all the chicken onto two skewers so that both skewers go through each piece of meat, packing down tightly as you go to make a compact kebab (see tip, below).
  • Light a lidded barbecue, and let the flames die down. Once the coals have turned ashen, pile them up on one side with a single layer of coals scattered around the other side. Lay the chicken kebab on the side of the barbecue with only a few coals underneath. Put the lid down and cook for 45 mins, turning every 15 mins. To finish, lift the lid and roll the kebab over to the hotter side to char the meat, turning it every few minutes until well browned and cooked through. Prise the chicken pieces apart in the centre to check they're cooked, or use a digital cooking thermometer - it should read 70C or more. Leave to rest for 5-10 mins while you cook the pittas (see recipe, opposite). Bring the kebab to the table and carve into thin slices with a serrated knife. Pile the carved meat into the warm pittas, then the sliced red onions and tomatoes, chips and tzatziki (see our recipes, below).

Tips:

  • Marinate the chicken at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, to infuse it with flavor.
  • Use wooden skewers for the chicken kebabs, as they are less likely to burn than metal skewers.
  • Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
  • Baste the chicken kebabs with the marinade or a barbecue sauce while they are grilling to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Grill the chicken kebabs over medium heat, turning them every few minutes, until they are cooked through.
  • Serve the chicken kebabs with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or pita bread.

Conclusion:

Chicken kebabs are a delicious and easy grilled dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a great way to use up leftover chicken, and they can be easily customized to your liking. By following these tips, you can make perfect chicken kebabs every time.
