Orientalchickenkebabs Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, ketchup, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, cumin, black pepper, paprika, and cinnamon together in a bowl.
• Place chicken thigh halves into the yogurt marinade and coat them thoroughly on all sides. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 to 8 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Using 2 skewers for each kebab, thread half of the chicken thighs onto each pair of skewers making a fairly thick "log" shape.
• Place kebabs on grill. Do not try to turn them until they begin to unstick from the grill, 3 or 4 minutes. Turn kebabs and grill the other side 3 or 4 minutes; turn. Continue cooking and turning until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 6 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Steps:

• Mix the yogurt, oil, lemon juice, oregano, coriander, paprika, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl until fully blended. Add the chicken and mix to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.
• Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill for cooking over medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken onto the soaked skewers, about 5 pieces per skewer, taking care not to pack the chicken pieces too tightly.
• Grill the skewers until the chicken is cooked through (an instant-read thermometer should register 165 degrees F), about 4 minutes per side. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine sauces, garlic and ginger.
• Add chicken and toss until evenly coated.
• Stand for at least 15 minutes.
• Thread chicken and vegetables onto 12 bamboo skewers that haved been soaked in water.
• Grill kebabs for 5- 10 mins, turning until cooked through.

Steps:

• Cut chicken into 1-1/2-inch pieces; place in large resealable plastic bag. Add zucchini, mushrooms and bell pepper to bag. Combine soy sauce, sherry, sesame oil and garlic in bowl; pour over chicken and vegetables. Close bag securely; turn to coat. Marinate in refrigerator at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
• Soak 4 (12-inch) wooden skewers in hot water for 20 minutes.
• Drain chicken and vegetables; reserve marinade. Alternately thread chicken and vegetables with onions onto skewers.
• Place on medium-hot grill. Brush with half of reserved marinade. Grill for 5 to 6 minutes on each side; brushing with marinade.
• Time does not include marinating time.

Steps:

• Coat an outdoor grill or stove-top grill pan with cooking spray and preheat to medium- high.
• Lay out 3 chicken strips, about 1/2-inch apart. Place a scallion crosswise over the center of the chicken pieces. Then wrap chicken over scallion 1 by 1, securing with a toothpick. Repeat process until you have used 1 pound of chicken.
• Season and grill the remaining 1 pound chicken breasts for another meal later in the week.
• In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic powder. Reserve half a cup of the marinade to use as a dipping sauce. Brush the remaining marinade all over the chicken-scallion skewers.
• Grill kebabs 5 to 7 minutes turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through.
• Garnish the reserved dipping sauce with sesame seeds and serve alongside skewers.

Steps:

• You will need 5 kebab sticks / skewers. If you are using wooden ones then leave them to soak in cold water for 10 minutes first to prevent them burning.
• Start with a piece of chicken and push it down the skewer leaving about 5cm at the bottom to hold.
• Add a piece of red pepper followed by a piece of Albanian salami then another piece of chicken. Repeat the pattern 5 times and finish with a piece of chicken on top.
• Follow this pattern for the rest of the skewers making 5 in total. If there is any ingredients left, make up an extra skewer or add another layer to each one using them up.
• Place on a tray or board to rest while the marinade is made.
• Mix together the olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, oregano and honey in a small bowl.
• Brush the marinade over the kebabs ensuring you cover all sides and leave to rest for 10 minutes before cooking. Alternatively you can cover these with cling film and keep these in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
• Place the kebabs on a grilling machine such as a George Foreman, close the lid and cooking for 10 -12 minutes on a high setting. Turn the kebabs occasionally. You can also cook these kebabs under the grill on a baking tray or on the BBQ.
• Serve as kebabs or great when removed the skewers and mixed into a salad.

Steps:

• Place chicken in medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add 1/2 cup cornstarch and toss until chicken is well coated. Transfer chicken to colander and toss to remove excess cornstarch.
• Place chicken broth in small bowl. Add remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch and stir until dissolved. Add vinegar, oyster sauce, soy sauce and sugar and mix thoroughly.
• Heat oil in heavy large skillet over high heat until oil is very hot, about 5 minutes. Add chicken and fry until just cooked through, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer chicken to plate. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon oil from skillet. Add green onions, ginger and garlic, then bell pepper to skillet and stir-fry over high heat until bell pepper is crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Return chicken to skillet; add broth mixture and stir until sauce thickens, about 1 minute.
