Barbecue chicken in the oven - sounds pretty unusual. How to cook it? How to bake? Which marinade to use? There are many questions, but it is worth preparing this dish. Chicken meat is fragrant, juicy and tender, no worse than on the grill. But the main thing, of course, is to know a few secrets that will make it ideal.

The secrets of cooking delicious skewers of chicken on skewers:

  1. First, chicken breast should not be pickled for long, about 1-2 hours. If the fillet is left in the marinade for a longer time, then the fibers will begin to break down, which will make the meat loose. At the same time, keep the chicken in the marinade at room temperature.
  2. Secondly, since chicken breasts are a dietary product, they must first be beaten a little with a kitchen hammer. This will allow the meat fibers to break down and penetrate deeper into the marinade.
  3. The third secret is slicing meat. Chicken fillet is never cut into very small pieces, otherwise it will dry out when baked. Ideal size - pieces of 4 cm or strips - 1.5 cm. In addition, the meat is cut only against the fibers.
  4. The fourth rule is salt. It should not be in the marinade. Fillet is salted at the very last moment before being put on skewers.
  5. The next item is baking. The meat should be fried on all sides evenly. Therefore, it must be cooked on a wire rack, or on a baking sheet with high sides, so that hot steam circulates from all sides.
  6. The seventh nuance is wooden skewers. They should be large and preferably made from bamboo stems or birch wood. If possible, they are pre-soaked in water, then they will not burn out during baking, especially for a gas oven.

Following all of the above tips, you will get an excellent kebab of chicken in the oven with tender, soft aromatic and tasty meat.

Ingredients:

Chicken fillet - 2 pieces

Kefir - 250 grams

Salt to taste

Saffron - 1 teaspoon

Ground pepper - to taste

Cooking skewers of chicken on skewers:

1. The meat is washed under running water and dried with a paper towel. Whole fillets slightly beat off with a kitchen hammer on both sides. Then we cut the chicken breasts into cubes about 4-5 cm in size.

2. Pour the chicken with kefir and leave it at room temperature for 1 hour.

For the marinade, acidic ingredients must be included, as the acid breaks down the fibers, allowing the meat to soak in taste and become soft. Together with kefir, you can use milk with balsamic vinegar or mayonnaise. Gourmet foods like orange or kiwi are also suitable. They contain fruit acid, which provides the kebab with a rich taste.

3. Then we get the pieces out of the marinade and season with saffron and ground pepper. To taste, you can use aromatic spices and herbs. For example, paprika and turmeric will give the pieces a golden hue, and a mixture of curry - a piquant taste. Oregano, marjoram, coriander, ginger, rosemary and nutmeg also go well with chicken meat.

4. Stir the meat well, salt and mix again.

5. Now we will string chicken fillets alternately on wooden skewers (try not to leave large distances between pieces).

6. Put the kebabs on a wire rack or baking sheet so that the meat does not touch the bottom. Then hot air will allow all the pieces to cook evenly and simultaneously.

7. We heat the oven to 200 degrees and send the chicken pieces on skewers to bake for half an hour. You can also use the “grill” mode, then the meat will be ready in 10 minutes. But bake it for 5 minutes on each side.

8. Ready-made delicious skewers of chicken fillet on skewers serve immediately to the table. Because if it cools, it will not be so juicy and soft.

When the hot season of picnics in nature has passed, lovers of barbecue should not despair. After all, delicious chicken skewers can be cooked at home. To do this, you only need wooden skewers, chicken and some spices. My today's recipe with a photo will tell you step by step how to cook homemade chicken skewers in the oven on skewers.

How to cook chicken skewers in the oven

For this dish, I used chicken breast on a bone weighing 850 grams. To save time, you can immediately use chicken breast fillet.

I removed the skin from the breast and then separated the meat from the bone. Fat, fibers and ligaments also need to be cut with a knife.

Cut the fillet into pieces.

How to Pickle Kebab Chicken

Add the marinade ingredients to the meat: 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of mustard, 2 large cloves of garlic, half a teaspoon of Curry spices and about the same (maybe a little more) salt. In this case, garlic should be passed through a press or, after being crushed previously by the flat side of a knife, cut into strips.

Mix the chicken thoroughly with spices. We cover the bowl with a lid or wrap it with cling film and send it to the refrigerator for 30-40 minutes. My meat stood in this form for 12 hours.

Pickled meat should be put on skewers. To prevent the skewers from being charred during cooking in the oven, they must be soaked in water for at least half an hour.

We put chicken skewers on the edges of the baking dish. To keep the shape clean, it can be lined with foil. I did not do this, but I advise you.

Preheat the oven to 220 ° C and place the skewers there for 25-30 minutes. Keeping the meat in the oven longer is not worth it if you want the kebab to be juicy and not dry and stiff.

Remove the roasted chicken pieces on skewers from the oven.

Serve the kebab without removing it from the wooden skewers. It is best to serve fresh vegetables and favorite sauce for meat.

Homemade chicken kebab is really very tasty, hearty and beautiful dish. The highest marks for such kebabs are always given by children who, with great pleasure, eat meat from wooden skewers. Treat your family members with a “piece of summer”.

Skewered chicken skewers in the oven with Teriyaki sauce - this is an excellent option to please homemade dishes with Japanese motifs.

Teriyaki Japanese sauce can serve as a dressing for salads, meat, fish and poultry, both as a sauce and as a marinade.

In appearance, Teriyaki sauce is similar to soy sauce, but has a more viscous and thick consistency. Despite the resemblance, in this recipe you should not use soy sauce, because it will be a completely different taste.

When spring comes, one wants to treat oneself and loved ones with meat baked on a bonfire with a fragrant crust “with smoke”. However, not everyone has the opportunity to do this, since only the lucky ones from the private sector can afford to make a fire in the yard. But do not be discouraged - I have a recipe that will make it possible for you to cook delicious dishes even in winter skewers on chicken skewers. They will delight your family and friends with the unforgettable smell of summer, warm wind and haze from the fire. I got the recipe from my grandmother, who, living in Central Asia, learned how to cook wonderful oriental chicken skewers on wooden skewers in the oven.

Did you know? Chicken meat is one of the most healthy: it is rich in protein, necessary for the development of muscle mass in men. And women like that it does not contain too much natural fat, which is usually associated with beef or pork.

Today I will share with you the secrets of preparing this wonderful dish, as well as my family's experience on how to make delicious meat pieces indistinguishably similar to the taste of a classic barbecue on the grill.

Preparation time:  50 minutes.
Kitchen appliances: Prepare a frying pan (preferably with a non-stick coating) with a diameter of 30 cm, an iron baking sheet with a diagonal of 30 cm, linen or cotton towels, a piece of paper towel, several deep bowls with a volume of 400-900 ml, a cutting board (I prefer a classic wooden one), dining rooms and tea wooden spoons, skewers with a length of 10 cm, kitchen scales or other measuring utensils, a wooden spatula and a sharp knife.

You will need

Important! Choose only the freshest fillet, as meat “with a sweetheart” will not only worsen the taste of your finished product, but also reduce the storage time of barbecue. Mayonnaise should also be fresh and high in fat.

Cooking sequence


That's all, your amazing kebab is ready! You can immediately remove the meat from the skewers, but I recommend serving kebabs properly, on skewers, so that the feeling of a fun summer picnic does not leave your loved ones and guests even in the middle of a cold winter. As a side dish, it is customary to serve boiled cauliflower with chicken skewers. But since not everyone loves her, you can choose something more universal: vegetables in the form of a fresh salad or mashed potatoes. My mother often serves homemade barbecue with canned green peas and juicy pickled pumpkin, and you can choose any side dish of your choice and the taste of your family.

Did you know? But what about the sauce? Do not forget the most important thing - tomato ketchup, which favorably emphasizes the taste of your dish and makes it unimaginably appetizing. I advise you not to use hot sauces, as they interrupt the taste of meat and are harmful to the stomach. But if you like spicy, then be moderate.
