Step 1

FOR THE CHICKEN KOFTA:

Step 3

If you are using wooden skewers you will want to soak them for an hour before you grill. If you are using metal skewers set about 6-8 aside depending on how big you want to make your kebabs.

Step 5

Preheat the grill on medium-high heat for 10- 15 minutes before you start grilling.

Step 7

In a food processor chop the onion and garlic until finely chopped. Add the ground chicken, parsley, mint, salt, pepper, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, oregano and give it a few pulses.

Step 9

Add the egg and process until the beef starts to become a thick mixture and everything is pretty well mixed together.

Step 11

Add the breadcrumbs and process until everything is combined. Remove the chicken mixture from the food processor and put it into a large mixing bowl. If the mixture is still very wet and hard to form into kebabs add more breadcrumbs. I suggest another 1/4 cup and mix well.

Step 13

Use your hands to form 1 to 1 1/2 inch thick kebabs around the skewers making them as long as you want. Do this using each of the skewers until your chicken mixture is done.

Step 15

Put the kebabs on the grill and grill them over the medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on one side, flip and grill another 4 to 5 minutes.

Step 17

Serve the kebabs with your favorite pita, hummus, tabbouleh and a drizzle of the tahini garlic sauce.

Step 20

FOR THE TAHINI GARLIC SAUCE:

Step 23

Put all the ingredients for the Tahini Garlic Sauce in a food processor and process until everything is combined and the sauce is smooth.

Step 25

Add more water to reach the consistency you like.
