How to make chicken kebab : a step by step recipe
Essential Ingredients:
- high fat mayonnaise - 400 g;
- fresh greens in the form of leeks, dill and parsley - in a bunch;
- chicken thighs and drumsticks - 4-5 kg;
- ripe lemon - 2-3 fruits;
- table salt - 2 full dessert spoons;
- ground red pepper - 3-4 pinches;
- large fresh onions - 5 pcs.;
- bay leaves - 6-7 pcs.;
- tomato paste - 3-4 large spoons.
Meat processing
Chicken kebab in mayonnaise is tasty and juicy from any part of the bird. However, we decided to use only the fattest ones (thighs and lower legs). They must be washed well in cool water, and then set aside until the marinade is prepared. It is worth noting that peeling should not be removed from the bird, since during the roasting on coals it will be covered with a golden crust, and the dish will become more appetizing.
Marinade process
Chicken skewers in mayonnaise should be aged for about 5-6 hours. However, before this sauce must be mixed with other aromatic ingredients. Finely chopped greens, tomato paste, high-fat mayonnaise, mashed ripe lemon without peel, table salt, ground red pepper, large onions, chopped into rings, and bay leaves are required to be placed in a separate cup. After this, the ingredients must be mixed, and then add them to the chicken drumsticks and thighs. Then everything needs to be covered and left aside for 5-6 hours. This time will be enough for poultry meat to absorb the aromas of sauce, become softer and juicier.
Heat treatment
Chicken marinated in mayonnaise should be cooked on charcoal for 20-26 minutes. However, before that it is necessary to light a fire made of oak or birch firewood. After they burn out and turn into hot coals, you should put a barbecue net on the barbecue, where you need to carefully lay the hips and legs. Having closed the grate, it must be periodically turned over so that the meat is evenly fried on all sides. After the above time, it is recommended to check whether the product is ready or not. To do this, a piece of chicken must be incised and see if blood or a clear liquid flows from the cut. If the broth is light, then the meat can be safely removed from the grill.
Proper serving
Chicken kebab in mayonnaise should be served with fresh herbs and vegetables (only in hot condition). Also, to such a meat dish, you can make a side dish in the form of mashed or boiled potatoes. In addition, it is necessary to bring sharp ketchup or tomato sauce to the barbecue.
Helpful advice
To extinguish a flame that suddenly broke out during the preparation of barbecue, you can use not ordinary water, but marinade, which remained after the meat. To do this, it is desirable to place it in a plastic bottle, in the lid of which it is necessary to make several holes.
