Turkish chicken kebabs / skewers or a.k.a tavuk şiş in Turkey.
It is said that the method of cooking meat on skewers over open fire originated on the steppes of Central Asia where the Turkic people originate. This basic concept was refined over time and was brought to the world with the westward migration of Turkic people.
There are different versions of chicken skewers / kebabs and this one is with a marinade made with Turkish yogurt, onion juice, garlic and spices that turns the chicken thighs into succulent, flavorful kebabs.
Serve with bulgur or breads like lavash and find out how amazing this chicken kebab is.

3. Add chili flakes, thyme, salt, cumin, black pepper, turmeric, paprika and optionally the tomato & chili paste
4. Puree 1 onion and drain the onion juice (you can use the onion pulp for kofta / meatballs)
5. Finally add 2 tbsp yogurt and lemon juice, give it a good mix until combined
6. Add the chicken and mix with your hands to make sure all the chicken pieces are coated
7. Cover and let it rest for at least 2 hours in the fridge, preferably overnight
8. Thread the chicken into metal skewers and set aside
9. Thread the tomatoes and the green peppers onto skewers
10. Prepare the grill with medium heat and wait for the fire to cool down a bit
11. Place the chicken skewers on medium heat and do not rotate for the first 2 minutes
12. After 2 minutes rotate the chicken and while rotating the skewers every 2 minutes to grill evenly
13. It should take 8-10 minutes in total for the chicken to cook
14. Roast the tomatoes and peppers and set aside once they are nicely charred
15. Shop extra onion and caramelize it in a small pan
16. Layer lavash bread on the plate, add the roasted vegetables and the caramelized onions
17. Serve the chicken on lavash bread, to get the flavorful sauce soaked into the lavash bread
Hello people, you can wet the lavash bread with some olive oil and smoked paprica and heat them on the grill on top of the cooked chicken. That way the bread won't be tasteless and dry.

What's wrong with the Turks? Don't you have any genionly Turkish food? You're stealing from the Greeks and Iranians and calling it Turkish? Why? This food id Iranian it has been written in history books that during the Achaemenid empire the marching armies would bring chickens and sheep to feed the soldiers and they would cook it over fire while. It's called Sikh Kabob Sikh meaning Skewer or broad sword, today it's called Shish kabob meaning sword kabob. THIS IS IRANIAN as is Mollana as is Norooz
Ellerine sağlık gerçekten çok lezzetli oldu 👍
Excellent work ❤😊
the thing with turkish kebabs is that they are bland in taste. chicken tikka style kebabs are so flavoursome.
Do you know how to make Turkish roll kebabs?
OMG That looks so good..
Kind of over rated… lot of retired friends are visiting turkey and complaining ../ they have to over pay and getting sucked into … I am talking from USA … 🇺🇸
Me likes chicken kebob!
Muito obrigada por compartilhar essa delícia vou tentar fazer ..Deus abençoe seus dons culinários ❤
Looks amazing. I don’t have anything to juice the onion , would you recommend I just put in a little bit of onion purée instead or just skip that part altogether? Thanks in advance. New subscriber here .
Can this be made on a pan?

I made this recipe more than once and it is healthy and delicious. I love it. I do not get chillies like the ones in the video, so I used another type of pepper. I also didn't bother to use skewers. Thank you for sharing this lovely recipe. Big fan.
