Shish kebab of chicken legs

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to fry shish kebab from chicken legs? To begin, prepare all the necessary ingredients. It is better to take fresh, not frozen, shish kebab legs, as this will affect the taste and juiciness of the finished dish. Wash the legs under running water and dry with paper towels.

2. STEP 2

   

   Divide the legs into drumsticks and thighs using a knife or kitchen scissors. Separate the flesh from the bones using a sharp knife. From the seeds you can cook a rich, rich broth for noodles or soup.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the chicken meat in a large glass or enamel container. Salt, sprinkle with dry seasonings (I used allspice and dry basil. Oregano, paprika or any other spices to your taste will also work well here. You can also take ready-made seasoning for kebab, it is also perfect for chicken legs.).

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash a large tomato under running water, dry it, and cut it into four slices. Crush each slice with your hands over the meat, and place the tomato itself on top.

5. STEP 5

   

   Peel the onions and wash together with the herbs under running water, dry. I used parsley, but you can also add dill. Cut the onion into rings and the greens into large pieces. Lightly squeeze the onion rings and herbs with your hands to release their juice. Place them in a container with the meat and tomatoes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Mix everything thoroughly, cover with a lid or a flat plate of suitable diameter and place in the refrigerator to marinate for a couple of hours.

7. STEP 7

   

   Light the grill, wait until the wood burns out and good quality coals remain. Marinated chicken legs can be fried on skewers or on a grill.

8. STEP 8

   

   In the recipe, the meat was cooked on a wire rack. So, place the grill on the coals and wait until it warms up well. Place the chicken fillet pieces on the grill after removing the onions, tomatoes and herbs from the meat.

9. STEP 9

   

   Periodically turn the legs on the grill using tongs.

10. STEP 10

    

    Fry until done, about 15-20 minutes.

11. STEP 11

    

    Cook until a delicious crispy crust appears.

12. STEP 12

    

    Serve the finished shashlik of chicken legs piping hot to the table. It’s good to serve fresh vegetables, herbs, red or white sauce with the kebab. Bon appetit!

I wanted to have a barbecue at the dacha. I was interested in the recipe for shish kebab made from chicken legs. I just had five legs. I didn’t have basil, so I didn’t replace it with anything. I took parsley from the greens. My meat marinated for about 1.5 hours. I've never had to remove bone from thighs and legs before, so I didn't do it very carefully. So I cut the meat smaller so that it would be convenient to thread it onto skewers. My husband fried the shish kebab. In high heat, it took 10 minutes for the meat to cook. The kebab turned out very juicy, tender and flavorful. The taste is amazing: bright and rich. Very appetizing! Pearl, thank you very much for the recipe!
