Instructions

Combine and mix the ingredients

  1. In a large bowl combine ground chicken thighs, garlic, onion, cumin, coriander, dried Barberries, salt and pepper.
  2. Now comes the most important part - mixing the Kebab mixture. You need to mix it for no less then 10 - 15 minutes. This will help the meat to stick better to a skewer and not fall apart. After you've done with the mixing, the meat should be sticky like a dough. 
  3. Take about a fistful of the meat mixture into one hand and drop it back into the bowl. You need to apply a little force here. Repeat this step for the remaining of the meat mixture for about 20 times. Don't worry, it's not difficult! Cover the bowl with a plastic film and place it in a fridge for 2 hours or overnight.
  4. Fire up the grill or preheat the oven to 400F. If you're going to grill kebabs, brush grill grates with a bit of oil.
  5. 30 to 60 minutes before you arrange Lula Kebab on skewers, I recommend soaking the skewers in water. This will keep them from burning up on the grill.

Arrange Kebabs on skewers

  1. Remove a bowl with Lula Kebab mixture from the fridge. Take about ½  cup portion of meat mixture and wrap it around a skewer. You can either have 1 long kebab (in this case I recommend using about ¾ -1 cup portions of meat per 1 skewer). Or you can do what I did and have 2 little ½ cup pieces of kebab on a skewer.

Cook

  1. If you're using an outdoor grill, you need to grill Lula Kebab for 4-5 on each side until it's nice and charred.If you're cooking in the oven, place skewers on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes turning once. Serve immediately!
