Middle Eastern Chicken Kebab Recipes

Steps:

• 1. In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt, olive oil, paprika, cumin, cinnamon, red and black peppers, lemon zest, lemon juice, sale and garlic.
• 2. Marinate chicken and onion for at least 8 hours or overnight.
• 3. Thread chicken onto skewers, occasionally alternating with red onion.
• Preheat grill to medium-high. Grill kebabs until golden brown and cooked through, about 10-15 minutes.

Steps:

• In a bowl mix oil, honey, soy sauce, cumin, cayenne and pepper. Set a small amount of the marinade aside for basting later on. Then add the meat, veggies and garlic and let them marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours. The longer the better.
• Discard the marinade and put meat and veggies onto skewers. If you use wooden ones, first soak them in lemon water to prevent burning.
• Grill on the BBQ for 12-15 minutes or until done. Keepturning and basting with the marinade you set aside earlier.

Steps:

• Puree the garlic, onion, spices, lemon juice and yogurt in the container of a blender or food processor.
• Place the chicken in a non-aluminum container and cover with the marinade. Turn well to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 12 hours.
• Preheat the broiler or make a charcoal fire.
• Thread the chicken on skewers, brush with a little oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook about 4 to 5 minutes per side for thigh meat, 3 to 4 minutes per side for breast meat. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
