How to Quickly Pickle Kebab Chicken

You can make a marinade very quickly from improvised means. For a quick whip sauce:

  • Vinegar or homemade not too sweet wine - 200 gr.
  • Spices: black or red pepper, ready-made mixture of peppers, curry, mixture for barbecue, or other spices.
  • Onions or a few cloves of garlic.
  • Mayonnaise or ketchup with a calculation of 200 gr. per 1 kg of meat.

Cook the meat, mix the future marinade in a deep bowl. Dilute vinegar or wine with warm water at the rate of 1: 1. Add spices, mayonnaise or ketchup. The chicken will be ready in 2-3 hours.

Pay due attention to the marinade, because it depends on it what kind of aroma and taste a barbecue will have in nature.

In the spring, invariably attracts to nature - eat kebabs, drink birch sap. It's time to talk about recipes for fire. For example, discuss marinade for chicken kebab to get a tender, juicy, quick to prepare dish. If you have never tried this, then it’s time to correct this omission!

In the country, we often bake on or lamb. In nature, the appetite is excellent, and there is not enough patience to wait until the pork or lamb meat is fried. Skewers of chicken helps. Marinated and fried quickly, easily digested by the stomach.

Traditionally, the dish is cooked on an open fire, that is, a fire, but if desired, the process can be simplified, modified according to available resources. There is no way to get firewood - we use coals sold almost everywhere. Will you have to cook at home? Not scary, . It would be a desire!

For chicken kebab, you can take different parts of the bird. The thighs are considered the most juicy, they often use the shins. And the wings fly like seeds. The fillet is a little dry, then you have to try to pickle and fry it without spoiling it.

The meat should be fresh, not amenable to freezing, from young birds. The color is pale pink with yellow streaks of fat, without an unpleasant odor (it occurs due to the addition of various drugs and additives for the growth of birds in the feed). Cut the fillet into large pieces, leave the shins and small thighs whole - this will preserve the entire juice. In addition to skewers, it is convenient to use a grill.

For diet chicken, it is better to use more fatty marinades, since the meat itself is dry. Suitable dairy products, honey, mustard, and combinations thereof.

There are a number of conditions, the secrets of tasty, juicy meat:

  1. Do not indulge in acidic components that are added to pork, beef, lamb skewers to soften the structure of meat, since chicken is already tender, in the presence of acid it becomes dry, harsh
  2. The pickling process is fast - 1.5-2 hours, for fillets - half an hour
  3. There should be a lot of marinade so that the raw material “floats” in it
  4. It is worth adding vegetable fat, which will prevent the flow of juice from chicken
  5. Even the best marinade will not help make juicy frozen chicken
      barbecue. We remind you that you should take only fresh meat as the basis
  6. It is recommended to take an enameled or ceramic container for salting, because metal, reacting with the components of the dressing, is able to give the dish an unpleasant aftertaste
  7. Pieces are best done the same in size and “location”, that is, only the lower leg, or only the fillet, or exclusively the wings. When using "assorted" there is a risk of uneven saturation of meat with salt, spices, other additives, poor frying of certain parts of the dish
  8. The liquid after marinating the meat can be used a second time for soaking vegetables (tomatoes, paprika pepper, eggplant, chopped in large pieces), as well as mushrooms, after 15 minutes of impregnation they should be fried over a fire - it turns out an excellent side dish.

Video recipe for cooking barbecue with soy sauce, onion and pepper marinade

Chicken is an ideal base for barbecue. Using different products, each time we get an unusual, but no less tasty option from this.

A huge advantage of this type of meat is the speed of cooking, it impregnates and fries much faster than pork, beef, lamb. And what a tender chicken kebab turns out!

How to cook chicken kebab

Cut the fillet into strips along the length of the piece (1 cm wide). Fold the strips in a marinating bowl. The marinade should completely cover the meat. Leave the chicken to marinate for 30 minutes.

The “trick” is to string meat in the shape of a ribbon. First you need to stick one strip on the skewer, followed by another.

Between fillet pieces, leave gaps, and then with scissors cut the skewers in half, separating the kebabs. If you have sate skewers, then you don’t have to cut anything.

Preheat the pan, pour vegetable oil for frying. Put the kebabs in a pan and fry over medium heat on one side. Then flip over to the other side, cover and fry for another 3 minutes.

Put the finished meat on a paper towel to remove excess fat.
