I am not sure about you, but I absolutely love chicken kebab (kabab). (Previously, I was hooked on chicken kabab koobideh.) Whoever invented the idea of marinated meat threaded onto skewers and then grill over fire was a culinary genius–one of the most brilliant and delicious food ideas ever invented. I can’t imagine a world where I can’t savor grilled skewered of meat that is bursting with flavors; I simply adore grilled meat, especially kebab.
Kebab is traditionally made with lamb, but I opted for chicken kebab because I don’t eat lamb. Chicken kebab is actually quite easy to make and the marinate process takes just an hour or less if you want. Ground cumin is the secret spice used in my chicken kebab recipe and it imparts an exotic aroma plus unique flavors to the meat. The bell peppers give both color and help refresh your palate after each bite of the chicken kebab…

With summer just around the corner, this chicken kebab (kabab) recipe might come in handy when you plan for your BBQ parties this year. Without a doubt, they are exceptionally tasteful.

Lamb Kabab Recipe (Shammi Kabab)
Even though I grew up eating lots of Indian food—my late parents were huge Indian food fans, especially Malaysian-Indian food—I suck at making Indian food. I like Indian cuisine, but I could hardly tell the difference between fennel and cumin seeds without a magnifying glass, let alone cooking an authentic dish! So, when I found Cheeky Chilli, I knew I…

Black Pepper Chicken Recipe
Do you love black pepper? I do. Think black pepper crab, black pepper beef (served on a sizzling hot plate!), and black pepper in the many concoctions that ultimately add depth and awesomeness to the dish. Don’t you just love black pepper? I made black pepper chicken for dinner last night. It was a very spontaneous recipe. I had a…

Yakitori (Japanese Grilled Skewered Chicken)
One of my favorite things to do on the weekends is having dinner with good friends at a Japanese izakaya or yakitori restaurant. The casual gastro-pub settings and the scrumptious fares offered at these establishments have had me hooked since my first trip to Tokyo many years ago. My favorite items at izakaya are none other than the mouthwatering, hot-off-the-grill…

Sweet and Sour Chicken Recipe
When it comes to Chinese recipes, there are a few very popular–and basic–cooking methods, and one of it is definitely sweet and sour. I love sweet and sour flavors and have shared quite a few recipes, such as sweet and sour pork, sweet and sour fish, and sweet and sour fish balls. Sweet and sour sauce goes extremely well with…

Any kind of grilling (bbq) is always a pleaser when I have friends or family over. Hope you and your family enjoyed this chicken kebab recipe :)
Mmm, the kebab looks absolutely delicious!
If using dried parsley, would it be same amount as the fresh ones? :P
Yes, it works the same. You can add more if you want. It doesn’t hurt. ;)
Really nice… I like those skewers.
Ciao.
The skewers look good for pictures and very practial and handy, too.
I love chicken kebabs too and i too make them with chciken than lamb, and this looks beautiful and so so yumm.
If i had chicken pieces here athome i would have made them right now.
Your kebabs look delicious! I’m a fan of a grilled meal on a stick too, and the cumin and paprika sound great for chicken.
I have been using a favourite kebab recipe of mine from Jen! I shall make this and hers when we have a bbq end of May!
A chicken kebab recipe competition. I like it! Let me know the winner :)
i like lamb kebab, the gamey flavour enhances the overall, carnivorous experience. :)
but chicken kebab’s easily found, in comparison.
Yes. The chicken versions of kebab are definitely for people who are not into the red meat gamey lamb flavor. Either way, cheers to kebabs! :)
Oh I’m loving the marinade! The paprika and cumin must add such a great smokey and earthy flavour to these kebabs. Lovely images :)
Thanks for sharing this!
It is one of my favorite marinade. Try it out :)
I love all kinds of kababs. I do like to try your paprika and cumin combination. Pictures looks so appetizing too!
Mmmmmm! I was just wondering what I was going to make for dinner tonight. No more wondering! Thanks so much for sharing! Some zucchini or eggplant might be good in there too.
:) Thanks for trying this kebab recipe. Hope you’ll enjoy this wonderful dinner.
Love this! I love threading pineapple along, as well :)
Oh, pineapples, yummy! But I am really bad at choosing the good pineapples, i.e. sweet and less acidic. Anyone care to share how to?
Bali pineapple is sweet. It is a species available in Malaysia even tho it’s name is “Bali”.
I love this website and especially this recipe. The picture looks awesome and I wish I could do nice photography as well.
I am Malaysian living abroad and constantly missing on those yummy Malaysian food.

chicken kabab recipe
OMG …..ALL YOUR RECIPES LOOKS AWESOME N UR REALLY GOOD IN PHOTOGRAPHY. WILL DEFINITELY TRY THIS ONE.IT LOOKS SO YUMMY…:-).THANKS FOR SHARING
how long it will take for it to cook?
Tried this on Monday, really good will cook again soon. Thanks :)
Amazing website1really impressed. I’m Persian and the most important thing in chicken kebob marinate is the saffron, I can’t have chicken kebob without it. and one very important thing overlooked in Persian kebobs is the skewer. You should use thick metal skewer that would make the kebob cook from the inside. that would make the chickens more juicy. your recipe looks great, but I personally would use 4 times more onion and would grate the onion. And I use 2 times more lime-juice but I don’t think non-persians would like it.
is there an alternative way of preparing the kebabs besides using the gril?
