Turkish Chicken Shish Kebab - Succulent Chicken Skewers | ASMR COOKING

Turkish chicken kebabs / skewers or a.k.a tavuk şiş in Turkey.
It is said that the method of cooking meat on skewers over open fire originated on the steppes of Central Asia where the Turkic people originate. This basic concept was refined over time and was brought to the world with the westward migration of Turkic people.

There are different versions of chicken skewers / kebabs and this one is with a marinade made with Turkish yogurt, onion juice, garlic and spices that turns the chicken thighs into succulent, flavorful kebabs.
Serve with bulgur or breads like lavash and find out how amazing this chicken kebab is.

I’ve tried this recipe twice…. Once in a pan, once on coal fire.. It’s an INSANELY different flavour over the fire. Didn’t realise that was such a key to the flavour!! Awesome taste

[housebrigade]

Can I just say to anyone making this amazing recipe, marinating it overnight or even better, 2 nights makes a massive difference in the flavour. I also put butter in a saucepan with the leftover marinade, simmer it for 10 mins and then keep brushing it over the chicken after 5-10 mins of cooking

I made these for my family and everybody was going wild including myself ! Absolutly amazing brother Thank You !

[luvbabytweety]

Made this last night. It was delicious. I omitted chili flakes, sprinkled onion powder instead, and added the tomato paste. It ws delicious! Thanks for sharing.

[stygianjack]

I’ve made this twice. The first time with crushed chillies which turned out quite harsh. The second time I sourced Pul Biber and it was absolutely delicious. Great channel, great recipe.

[anamascarenhas]

I made this recipe more than once and it is healthy and delicious. I love it. I do not get chillies like the ones in the video, so I used another type of pepper. I also didn't bother to use skewers. Thank you for sharing this lovely recipe. Big fan.

Food looks amazing. And love your simple photography style

[castlestovesrussellwood-cljv]

I never comment but I’ve just cooked this and my whole family including the fussy daughter absolutely loved it!!!!L I’m not exaggerating it’s the best kebab I’ve ever eaten. The amount of marinade drowned 4 large breasts and could’ve easily done 6 or 7, wasn’t bothered. Best marinade Thanks dude

[Sherirose]

I love Turkish food. Gunes do a delicious orzo and another restaurant I like does a lovely shish. One of the spices that make a difference is sumac. Yummy.
