Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 1 lb Ground Chicken
- 1 large Onion, grated
- 1 tsp Turmeric
- 1 tbsp Liquid Saffron
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Ground Black Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
- 2 tbsp Lime Juice
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
Instructions
- 1
Start by combining the ground chicken, grated onion, turmeric, liquid saffron, salt, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes in a large bowl. Mix everything thoroughly until the spices are well distributed

Once mixed, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This enables the meat to absorb all of the flavors

After marinating, divide the mixture into equal portions. Using wet hands, shape the chicken into long, flat kebabs, pressing them around metal skewers. To ensure consistent cooking, make sure they are shaped equally

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. To keep the kebabs from sticking, brush them with olive oil. Grill the kebabs for about 8-10 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning

Once grilled to perfection, remove the kebabs from the skewers and serve hot.
