Ground Chicken Kebab

These ground chicken kebabs combine minced chicken with a mix of spices like garlic powder, paprika, cumin, coriander, and optional chili powder, balanced with yogurt and flour to bind and moisten. After resting the mixture, it is shaped into patties and cooked by baking, grilling, frying, or air-frying until fully cooked and flavorful.

Ingredients

  • 1 ⅓ pounds ground chicken minced
  • 1 medium-sized brown onion finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper coarse
  • 1 teaspoon salt pr according to taste
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder optional, or more
  • 2 tablespoons yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons plain flour

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Put all the ingredients in a bowl. Mix and knead it well. Cover with cling film and leave it to rest in the fridge for at least 20 minutes. So the flavour will develop better.
  2. Shape the chicken meat into balls about a ping pong ball size, then flatten them. 
  3. If you cook them in the oven, you can arrange the patties on the lightly sprayed with oil baking tray. Then cook the meat at gas 4/ 350° F/ 180° C for about half an hour or until the kebabs are cooked through.
  4. If you cook the meat on the griddle pan, you can spray the pan with a little bit of oil. Cook the patties on each side for about 6-7 minutes. Until the meat is cooked through.
  5. You can also cook the chicken kebabs in the air fryer if you want. It normally takes me about 10 minutes at 350° F/180°C to cook a batch of chicken patties in my air fryer.  
  6. Last but not least, you can cook the meat on the barbecue according to however you like.
  7. Enjoy.

Notes

  • Rest the spiced chicken mixture in the fridge at least 20 minutes to enhance flavor and firmness.
  • Cook the kebabs by baking at 350°F for about 30 minutes, pan-frying 6-7 minutes per side, air frying for 10 minutes at 350°F, or grilling.
  • For a yogurt dip, mix natural yogurt with minced mint and coriander leaves, salt, and pepper to taste.
  • For a chili dip, blend chopped canned tomatoes, brown onion, chilies, lemon juice, salt, sugar, and chopped coriander leaves until combined but still textured.
