Chicken kebabs are easy to make with very less ingredients. The more one marinates, the kebabs gets coated nicely in the masalas and tastes better when it is cooked.
Cooking in an oven is very convenient but if you don’t have one ,can be cooked in a gas stove. It goes well with spicy green chutney.
Usually I marinate the chicken pieces overnight so that the ingredients are well mixed with the chicken pieces and the chicken kebabs are soft with lot of flavour and tastes delicious once it is cooked.
In the marination onion and capsicum are also added which are cut in square shapes. The chicken pieces are threaded with capsicum and onion alternatively in wooden skewers and cooked in tandoor or electric oven or on an iron tawa.
Chicken is considered to be healthy and a lean meat because it has less saturated fat and calories than any other red meat. It is loaded with lot of protein, minerals and vitamins.
