Cooking Tips

• Make sure to marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to penetrate.
• If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before skewering the chicken to prevent them from burning.
• To check if the chicken is cooked, insert a skewer into the thickest part of the meat. If the juices run clear, it is cooked.
• For a healthier version, you can also bake the kebabs in the oven at 400掳F (200掳C) for about 20-25 minutes.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover Fried Chicken Kebabs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the kebabs in a preheated oven at 350掳F (180掳C) for about 10 minutes or until heated through.
• Serve the kebabs as an appetizer at parties or as a main course with naan or rice.
