Chicken Kebab Turkish Style Recipes

TURKISH CHICKEN KEBABS

Turkish Chicken Kebabs image

I'd like to think that all the chicken coming off American grills this summer will be as tasty, juicy, and tender as these Turkish chicken kebabs. By using a flavorful, yogurt-based marinade, like the one seen herein, even inexperienced grillers can produce impressive results. I'm not sure how 'Turkish' this is--it's loosely based on a lamb marinade I've used for a long time.

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 cup whole-milk Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, or more to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons ketchup
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Aleppo red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, halved
4 long metal skewers

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).

Categories dinner, easy, weekday, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 large onions, peeled
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon minced garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
3 bay leaves, crumbled
1 tablespoon fresh marjoram or oregano leaves, or 1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken thighs or legs, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
Lemon wedges or ground sumac (available in Middle Eastern stores)

Steps:

Start a charcoal or wood fire or heat a gas grill. The fire should be moderately hot and the rack about 4 inches from the heat source. Mince one onion, and combine it in a large bowl with oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, bay leaves and marjoram or oregano. Taste, and adjust seasoning. Marinate chicken in this mixture for at least a few minutes or overnight in refrigerator.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water to cover for a few minutes. Cut remaining onion into quarters, then separate it into large pieces. Thread chicken and onion alternately onto skewers, leaving a little space between pieces.
Grill, turning as each side browns, and brushing with remaining marinade, for about 12 to 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Serve with lemon wedges or sprinkle with a bit of sumac.
