How to make chicken Seekh kabab?
Traditionally Chicken Seekh kabobs are made by using a grill. But I tried making it in a conventional oven by broiling the kabab for 20 – 25 minutes. You can also make kabab using a wide skillet on the stove top.
Chicken Seekh kabab is made with minced or ground chicken, spices, and herbs. Ground chicken molded on the bamboo skewers and grilled. It is an excellent grilled chicken recipe to enjoy in a hot summer. Also, you can broil it in a conventional oven, broiled chicken kebabs taste equally good to the grilled kabab.
Smart Cooking Tips:
1. Ground chicken is used to make seekh kebab. If you do not have the ground chicken, you can easily make minced chicken at home. Place boneless, skinless chicken in a food processor or mixer and grind it until it becomes minced completely.
2. Make sure to chop the onion and green chilies finely, so that it is easily mixed with ground chicken.
3. Soak bamboo skewers in cold water for at least 20 minutes. This process helps to prevent the skewers from burning. You can also replace the bamboo skewers with steel skewers.
4. Mold the ground chicken evenly on bamboo skewers, so that it will get cook evenly.
5. Keep turning the kebabs occasionally when cooking, this helps to cook the kebabs evenly on all the sides.
6. If you grilling the kebabs brush the grill grate with enough amount of oil to prevent the kebabs sticking to the grill grate.
7. I made the kebabs without marinating the chicken if you have more time marinate it for at least an hour. Marinating the chicken helps to yield a flavorful kebab.
8. I used boneless, skinless chicken breast in this recipe. You can also use boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Chicken thighs make an excellent kebab.
