Chicken Kebab (Kabab) – easy recipe with the juiciest and best kebab (kabob) ever! Threaded on skewers. Chicken Kebab is my favourite as they are so juicy and delicious. They are very easy to make and this chicken kebab recipe is the only recipe you’ll need this summer!
Few tricks to get juicy kebab:
1)The Meat
It is best to use chicken thighs (dark meat). It has more fat and keeps the kebab moist. White meat(chicken breast) tend to get dry when cooked longer. But you can use chicken breast, but always keep an eye on the cooking time.
2)Marinating
Marinating chicken helps the chicken to absorb as much flavour as possible. So marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours. Marinate it for minimum 2 hours to maximum overnight or upto 2 days.
3)Ingredients helps
There are certain ingredient which helps the chicken turn juicy. Yogurt and lemon juice adds nice tang to the chicken also the acid helps the chicken to turn juicy and moist.
4)Cooking Time
Always cook chicken kebab in a hotter oven, in grill mode for lesser time.

One of my all-time favourite recipes for entertaining, these chicken kebabs are marinated in a tangy Middle Eastern blend of Greek yogurt, lemon, garlic, ginger and spices, then grilled on skewers until golden brown.
I’ve specified boneless skinless chicken thighs for this recipe. They’re more flavourful than chicken breasts, and easier to cook without drying out. I know some people prefer white meat but I’d urge you to try the chicken thighs — I’ve made it both ways, and it’s far superior with dark meat.
Tip for Juicy Chicken Kebab:
1)Use boneless chicken thighs for more juicy chicken kebab.
2)If you are using breast, then cook it little less.
3)Don’t over cook chicken else it will get dry.
4)Marinate the chicken for atleast 2 hours or overnight for best result.
5)Bring chicken to room temperature before cooking.
6)You can marinate the chicken for upto 2 days.
7)Store marinated chicken in freezer upto a month. Thaw it in fridge overnight before cooking.
