Ingredients
  

For the Kebab Mixture
  • 1 lb Ground Chicken Finely minced chicken with a bit of fat for moisture
  • 2 tbsp Garlic Paste Or fresh minced garlic
  • 1 Fresh Green Chili Adjust according to spice tolerance
  • 1 medium Grated Onion Red onion gives a milder sweetness
  • 1 medium Red Bell Pepper Consider long red sweet peppers for a twist
  • 2 tbsp Sweet Paprika Smoked paprika deepens flavor
  • 1 tsp Red Chili Flakes Modify to preference for spiciness
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley Or swap for coriander if preferred
  • 1 tsp Salt Adjust based on dietary needs
  • 2 tbsp Oil for Grilling Olive oil or high smoke-point oil works well

Equipment

  • Metal skewers

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the kebab mixture by grating the onion and red bell pepper, squeezing out excess juices. Combine ground chicken, grated onion, red bell pepper, garlic paste, green chili, salt, paprika, chili flakes, and parsley in a mixing bowl. Knead well and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Assemble the kebabs by moistening your hands and molding portions of the chicken mixture around flat metal skewers into flattened sausage shapes about 1 inch thick.
  3. Preheat your grill over medium-high heat, lightly brushing with oil to prevent sticking and achieve a charred exterior. Aim for a temperature of about 400°F (200°C).
  4. Grill the kebabs on one side for about 5-6 minutes, then turn gently and grill for another 5-6 minutes until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  5. Serve the kebabs hot, on skewers or plated, with sides like flatbreads, garlic yogurt sauce, or a fresh salad.
