Instructions

  1. Place the ground chicken, parsley, onions, garlic and spices all in a large bowl. Use your hands to combine until the mixture is well blended. It will feel a little sticky, but that's fine.
  2. Form the Kafta into an oblong shape about 1 inch in thickness. You can form them on a wooden skewer or without.
  3. Grease the grates of a gas grill or indoor grill pan, and preheat it to medium high heat. When heated through, transfer the kafta to the grill. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, until the chicken is fully cooked.
  4. Serve hot off the grill with your choice of side.

Notes

  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 3-4 days in the fridge.
  • Make Ahead: You can make the kafta or patties ahead of time and freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to grill them, thaw in the fridge overnight or for at least 6-8 hours.
