Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
Prepare all the necessary products. To cook chicken shish kebab on the grill, you can take any part of the chicken. You can also cut a whole chicken into small pieces. Someone likes shish kebab more - thighs and shins will do here, someone prefers to crunch - in this case, take chicken wings, and someone adheres to proper nutrition and prefers minimal fat consumption - then chicken breast, preferably without skin, will do.
Step 2:
Wash the chicken well, then dry it. I recommend using chilled poultry meat - there are much more useful substances in it. If you take a chicken breast, cut it into medium-sized pieces about 2-3 cm .
Step 3:
It is best to cut the thinnest phalanx from the wings - there is practically one skin and bones, so this part is very often badly burned.
Step 4:
If the chicken thighs are very large, then I recommend cutting the thigh into two parts. Too large a thigh may not be fried on the grill.
Step 5:
The lower legs are usually not very large, so we will leave them as they are.
Step 6:
Put the chicken in a large saucepan or container. Add lemon juice. If you squeeze the juice directly from the lemon, pre-wash it well with hot water - so the lemon will give more juice. It is also best to use a small sieve so that the lemon seeds do not get into the marinade. And of course, freshly squeezed lemon juice can be replaced with factory-made lemon juice.
Step 7:
Salt the chicken meat.
Step 8:
Pepper. Also at this stage, you can add some other, your favorite spices and seasonings: hops-suneli, fenugreek, thyme. Focus on your preferences!
Step 9:
Peel the onion and cut it into thin rings or half rings.
Step 10:
Add to the shish kebab dish.
Step 11:
Add mayonnaise. I am not sure that it is useful to heat-treat mayonnaise, but nevertheless marinades based on mayonnaise are among the most popular. Therefore, I recommend using homemade homemade mayonnaise. It is also quite possible to replace mayonnaise with sour cream or some other fermented milk product.
Step 12:
Mix everything and leave to marinate for 1 hour to 2 days.
Step 13:
Light the firewood. Birch firewood is recommended for cooking on coals.
Step 14:
Wash the skewers and heat them on fire. Wait until the firewood burns out and there will be red-hot coals.
Step 15:
String the chicken pieces and put them on the grill to roast.
Step 16:
Turn the skewers often enough, at first every 2-3 minutes. The total cooking time on the grill is 30-40 minutes.
Step 17:
Serve shish kebab with fresh herbs and fragrant seasonal vegetables. Bon appetit!
It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See here interesting
recipes for homemade mayonnaise.
Also, as a dressing, you can use not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.
Chicken can be replaced with turkey or any other type of meat at your request. But keep in mind that in this case, the cooking time and calorie content of the dish will change.
If you use ready-made spice mixes, be sure to read the composition on the package. Often, salt is already present in such mixtures, take this into account, otherwise you risk over-salting the dish.
