chicken kebab

Chicken Seekh Kebab, or kabab, are flavorful ground meat croquettes, seasoned with warm Indian spices, then grilled in an air fryer or oven.

Chicken Seekh Kebab (Kabab)

chicken (see notes for substitutions)

shallot (finely chopped (1 medium))

serrano chili, finely chopped (de-seeded for mild heat)

ginger garlic paste ((3 cloves of garlic + ½ inch ginger))

cilantro

carrot (finely shredded- Optional)

garam masala

Kashmiri Red Chili powder (or paprika

salt

lime juice (fresh)

olive oil (+ 2 tablespoons for forming kebabs)

bamboo skewers (soaked in water for 10 minutes)

Finely chop aromatics

In a small food processor, add peeled ginger, garlic cloves, shallot chunks (or onion), Serrano chili and cilantro. Pulse it until everything gets minced. Note: Don&#039;t puree it.

Combine with ground meat

Add it to a large mixing bowl along with ground chicken and shredded carrots (if using). Add salt, garam masala, paprika, olive oil and lime juice. Mix well.

Divide into small portions

Roughly divide the mixture evenly into 8 portions. Use food grade gloves for a mess-free process of making kebabs.

Shape kebabs

Pour 2 tablespoons of oil in a small bowl.  Wet your palms with oil, take one portion of the chicken mixture and roll it into an oblong or cylindrical shape by gently pressing it together.

Thread into skewer

Thread a skewer through the spiced chicken mix. Place the skewers on a plate and keep forming kebabs.

Air Fry Kebabs

Preheat air fryer at 400°F for 2 minutes. Place the skewers in the fryer basket leaving ½-inch gap between them. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until the kebabs turn light brown and cook through. If using a meat thermometer, the internal temperature should read 165°F or higher.

Alternate Cooking Method: Oven

Turn on the oven on &quot;Hi Broil&quot; mode and place the kebab skewers on a lined baking sheet. Place the sheet on the top rack.  Broil the kebabs for 6-7 minutes on the first side. Flip them and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until they cook through.

Rest and serve

Rest for 5 minutes before serving.  Serve with the Cilantro chutney as an appetizer or wrap it up in a paratha. For a low-carb meal, pair with a garden salad.

Making chicken kebab

A super flavorful, tender and juicy main dish called Kebab e Murgh.&nbsp; It is a chicken kebab that you will make again and again. An authentic recipe from Afghanistan. If you want to make this Plant Paradox friendly, use plain goat milk yogurt instead of whole milk yogurt, pasture raised chicken and if you want a little heat add a pinch of cayenne or hot paprika instead of the red pepper flakes.&nbsp;

plain yogurt (whole milk)

This version of Greek gyro chicken kebabs uses thigh instead of breast to keep the meat really succulent

Greek chicken kebab

boneless, skinless chicken thighs

cinnamon

allspice

pitta bread

dill yogurt sauce see tip, below left

red onion & cucumber salad see tip, below left

romaine heart lettuce leaves, shredded, lettuce

In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients for the marinade, along with a good few pinches of salt and some pepper. Add the chicken thighs and mix everything together. Cover and chill overnight.

Light a lidded barbecue, then let the flames die down. Once the coals have turned ashen, mound them up on one side. Thread the chicken thighs onto 2 metal skewers – so that both skewers go through each piece of meat – packing the thighs down so that they are really compact. Place the chicken kebab on the side without any coals underneath. Pop the lid down and cook for 45-55 mins, turning regularly, or until cooked through – prise the chicken pieces apart in the centre to check this. Cover the chicken with foil and leave to rest for 20 mins before slicing. (If cooking in the oven, heat to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Rest a wire rack over a roasting tin and place the chicken on top. Cook for 45-55 mins or until cooked through.)

Slice strips of chicken from the kebab and stuff into pittas, warmed on the barbecue. Serve with Dill yogurt sauce, tomato, red onion & cucumber salad, and crunchy lettuce.
