The secret to making delicious chicken kebabs lies in using fresh, non-frozen chicken wings. An essential factor is the right marinade: its purpose is not just to enhance the meat’s flavor but to tenderize its fibers. You can marinate chicken using fruit juice, kefir, mineral water, alcoholic beverages (like wine, beer, vodka, or cognac), soy sauce, horseradish, mustard, aromatic herbs (such as cilantro or basil), and seeds (spices). Typically, the marinade includes onion, garlic, ginger, pepper, and salt.
Ingredients: meaty chicken wings (chilled, but not thawed) – 1 kg or 10-12 pieces; onions – 1 kg; black and red pepper – 1 teaspoon each; salt – 1 tablespoon.
In a separate bowl, pass a lot of onions through a meat grinder, sprinkle with salt, and let it sit for 15 minutes.
Add the chicken wings to the chopped onions and gently mix with your hands. Let the meat marinate for at least an hour.
Before skewering, sprinkle the chicken wings with red and black pepper.
Grill the kebabs over hot coals for 15-20 minutes until a golden crust forms. Serve with thin lavash, vegetables, and herbs.
Tip
Marinate the meat in enamel or glass containers. Avoid using aluminum or plastic bowls for marinating, as these materials can react with the acid and become harmful to your health.
