The best marinades for the most delicious chicken kebab (the meat turns out to be soft). Chicken kebab

My friend and I love to go to barbecues. She is a super hostess and just the perfect picnic organizer. Usually we write a list of products in advance and make two types of kebabs - from a pork neck and from chicken wings or drumsticks.

We buy the neck in advance and pickle the night, and before the picnic we go to the store and buy chicken. We marinate it right before the picnic in the meadow. The barbecue is always excellent.

Here are some proven chicken marinade recipes that will help you make a great picnic too!

In nature, people always eat more, especially if it's kebabs. Therefore, it is better to take meat or chicken for barbecue at the rate of about 500 grams per person.

There are a lot of marinades for chicken, perhaps even more than for. After all, chicken is tender meat, it does not need to be softened, but you can simply experiment with tastes. By the way, according to these recipes, kebabs can be cooked not only on the grill, but also marinated meat for baking in the oven.

In separate posts, I have highlighted marinades for chicken kebabs with and.

Lavash, sliced ​​fresh vegetables, fresh herbs and sauce will ideally complement the shish kebab. And if you also buy fresh seasonal fruits, for example, cherries, then the picnic will become just a feast!

Which part of the chicken is best for a kebab?


Personally, I love the wings the most - they turn out to be fried, crispy, juicy. They can be eaten indefinitely, like seeds. And all that is required is to soak them for a while in mayonnaise. Perhaps the simplest and most effective option.

Although, most people believe that chicken legs are the part of chicken that is best suited for grilling on the grill. Because they have fat in them, and the meat will turn out juicy. The thighs and drumsticks, of course, are worthy of attention, it is no coincidence that when people ask for a piece of chicken, there is always a fight for the leg.

True, if in the pork neck there are fat layers inside the meat, then here they are thin and under the skin, therefore, ideally, some kind of enveloping marinade is needed so that they do not dry out. Kefir, yogurt, ayran - it was not in vain that meat was soaked in fermented milk products in the Caucasus. Or vegetable oil and mayonnaise made on its basis.

Fillets are usually taken for children to feed with something dietary. It is dry in itself, so for a delicious kebab, fillets must be marinated, and all the marinades from this article are great for this.

For the best picnic, I think it is necessary to combine two types of kebabs - chicken wings and pork neck kebabs.

How to properly marinate chicken skewers so that the meat is juicy

  1. Chicken is tender meat, low-fat, so the purpose of soaking it in a marinade is somewhat different than for pork kebabs and other types of harder meat. The task here is not to make the meat softer, but to add flavor and make it more juicy. Therefore, a wider variety of marinades is possible.
  2. Chicken kebab is marinated quickly in 1-2 hours, but the longer the better. Someone keeps it in the marinade for two days for the most tender and soft meat. But you just can't do this if there is lemon and, especially, zest in the composition - the kebab will start to taste bitter.
  3. If you are making chicken kebabs with vinegar, then take apple or grape.
  4. When grilling chicken kebabs, grill only pieces from one part of the poultry at a time - for example, first put only the wings on the wire rack, fry, and then the fillet kebab. Because the cooking time is different for different parts.
  5. If you bought frozen chicken, then defrost it in advance on the top shelf of the refrigerator, then at room temperature. And only after complete thawing, start pickling, otherwise the kebab will turn out to be tasteless.

Chicken kebab can be cooked in different ways. It can be fried on hot coals in nature or baked on skewers in the oven, it can be browned to a crust in a barbecue maker or cooked in a pan. Only one thing remains unchanged every time - everyone's favorite taste of chicken in a fragrant spicy marinade. In this article, we will look at how to make delicious chicken skewers and the most delicious marinade recipes.

How to make delicious chicken skewers

It is important to understand that different parts of the chicken carcass will make a different kebab.

Kebabs from chicken breast will be lean and tasty, but this part requires a good marinade, which will make the meat soft and juicy, since it does not contain any fat. But at the same time, the kebab marinade should contain any oils, since any oil will cover a piece of chicken meat with a thin film, preventing the precious juice from flowing out.

From chicken thighs, the kebab will be soft and juicy, because these pieces contain natural fat and the thickness of the meat will not allow it to dry out too quickly when cooking on open coals. It is also convenient to put the thighs on the skewers. Leaving the skin in place will make it brown and crispy, and will also help keep the meat inside from drying out. But you have to forget about the diet for a while.

Chicken drumsticks are slightly smaller than thighs, but just as tasty. If you are a fan of dark chicken, this is a great option as the portions are the same size, not too fatty or too dry. They marinate quickly enough and are convenient to eat outdoors without cutlery.

Chicken wings are the hardest to grill on skewers, but very convenient on the wire rack. If you use spicy and spicy marinades, then you get an amazingly tasty beer snack. Remember everyone's favorite barbecue wings, which are on the menu of almost all beer restaurants.

When preparing chicken kebabs, it is important to remember that chicken meat cannot be marinated for too long, as it becomes tough from this. Enough 1-2 hours in the marinade for the soft chicken meat to acquire the desired aroma and taste.

If you bought frozen chicken instead of fresh, do not defrost it in the microwave or on the table, do it slowly in the refrigerator. This will also help keep the meat tender.

When dividing the chicken into chunks, make them the same size. Please note that some cuts may take longer to cook than those without bones due to the bone in the middle.

If you salt the chicken not during pickling, but before putting it on the fire or in a pan, then the meat will be juicier, since the salt draws out the liquid.

The readiness of the chicken kebab is checked by cutting one of the pieces, the meat juice should be transparent, and the bone should lose its reddish brown tint. The meat should be easy to separate from the bone.

And now let's take care of marinades for the most delicious chicken kebab.

Marinade for chicken kebab with onions

Not everyone knows that marinating chicken in vinegar is not a good idea. The acid makes soft meat tough, which can ruin your chicken skewers even before you put them on the grill.

If you want to make the meat tender and soft even more, then an excellent marinade recipe is an onion marinade.

For a kilogram of chicken meat you will need:

  • 2-3 large onions,
  • mustard - 2 tablespoons
  • vegetable oil - 2 tablespoons,
  • salt to taste.

Combine the oil, mustard and pepper, then stir in the chicken pieces to distribute evenly.

Cut the onion into rings or grate it (you can use a meat grinder or blender), this will make it possible to stand out a large amount of onion juice, which will perfectly marinate the meat and make it soft.

Add chopped onions to chicken and stir again. Put the marinate in a sealed container in the refrigerator for at least an hour. The longer it is marinated, the softer the meat will be.

The mustard-onion marinade will give the chicken kebab a very piquant taste and mouth-watering aroma. Serve with vegetable salads and herbs.

Soy sauce chicken marinade

There are several different soy marinades, depending on whether you like sweet or spicy.

Soy Mustard Chicken Marinade

  • mustard - 1 teaspoon
  • olive oil - 3 tablespoons
  • garlic - 2 cloves,
  • ground black pepper - 0.5 teaspoon,
  • salt - 0.5 teaspoon.

This amount of marinade is enough for about a kilogram of chicken, if you cook more, then increase everything proportionally. Do not marinate chicken in soy marinade for too long, as it has a very rich taste. One hour will be enough.

Soy honey chicken marinade

This marinade combines the salty taste of soy sauce, the sweetness of honey and the spice of a variety of spices. Chicken kebab in such a complex marinade turns out to be the most tender and just melts on the tongue, and the taste will be remembered for a long time.

  • soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
  • liquid honey - 2 tablespoons,
  • vegetable oil (preferably olive oil) - 3 tablespoons,
  • coriander - 0.5 teaspoon
  • basil - 0.5 teaspoon
  • black pepper - 0.5 teaspoon,
  • salt - to taste before preparing the kebab.

  • hot red pepper - 0.5 teaspoon,
  • seasoning Khmeli-suneli - 1 teaspoon,
  • olive oil - 1 tablespoon
  • honey - 2 teaspoons,
  • salt to taste before cooking.

Chicken kebab in this marinade will be very soft and juicy, it is enough to marinate it for 1 hour. But when cooking, it is necessary to ensure that the temperature of the coals or the stove is not too high, since the tomato component of the marinade will burn over high heat and turn black, acquiring a slightly bitter taste. To avoid this, let the coals cool slightly, and set the oven to no more than 200 degrees. But believe me, a slightly longer cooking time will be worth it when you taste the results.
