Fire up the grill and make your favourite Barbecued Chicken Kebabs recipe! Tender, juicy, spice-rubbed BBQ chicken infused with fragrant and exotic spices is well-loved! Chicken kebab lovers state that the dish originated from the mediaeval Turkic troops who grilled meat with their swords in open fires. In the days of the Delhi Sultanate, royal residences offered chicken kebabs to their guests. Even ordinary people ate kebabs and parathas for breakfast, while the naan and other assorted kebabs were also famous in Mughal India.
Barbecued Chicken Kebabs
Kebabs were a natural nutritional option for Turkish nomads. However, the culinary history of these kebabs stretches worldwide, and each race and nation have added its distinctive touch. The Indian kebab blended Turkish and Iranian tastes and techniques and was introduced first by the Mughals. Later, other favourite ingredients were added to cater to different tastes.

- Keep the sliced onions and 1 green chilli in a dish with the malt vinegar aside.
- Prick one or two places into the chicken cubes so the spices seep in easily
- In a skillet, dry roast the whole spices for the chicken marinade.
- Put the spices in a mixer jar and grind until finely ground.
- The ginger, green chillies and garlic should be dry roasted.
- Combine this with the powder and crush it into a smooth paste.
- Add some mint leaves, jaggery, and the juice of half a lime to this spice mixture.
- Rub the chicken with a couple of tablespoons of ghee and the marinade.
- Chill the marinated chicken for 2 hours. Allow the chicken to come to room temperature before seasoning with salt.
