  1. STEP 1

    STEP 1

    How to make chicken legs on the grill? For the recipe, take chicken legs, wash them well and dry them with paper towels. If you are using frozen poultry, remove it from the freezer in advance and leave it to thaw at room temperature. Separate the flesh from the bone. This way the meat will marinate better and fry well later.

  2. STEP 2

    STEP 2

    Place the chicken meat in one layer on a flat surface, salt to taste on one side and the other. In general, salt can be added directly to mayonnaise, and then all together to the meat. Do what is most convenient for you. Peel the bulbs and rinse.

    Grate the onion and use a sieve or gauze to separate the onion juice from the pulp.

    STEP 9

    It usually takes 20 to 40 minutes to cook chicken kebab. Depends on how large your pieces are and the degree of heat in the grill. You can check the readiness of the meat by making a cut in one piece with a sharp thin knife. If you see clear juice, then the kebab is ready! But remember, if you overcook the chicken over the coals, it may become dry.
