Shish Grill
Funzionalità Premium
The practice of grilling meat on skewers dates back to ancient times in the Middle East and Mediterranean regions. The word 'shish' comes from Turkish, meaning 'skewer,' and 'kabob' is derived from Persian, referring to roasted meat. Nomadic tribes often cooked meat over open fires using skewers, a practice that evolved into the various kabob dishes we know today.

Funzionalità Premium
Chicken Shish Kabobs offer a savory and often tangy flavor profile, achieved through marinating the chicken in a blend of herbs, spices, and acidic ingredients like lemon juice or yogurt.
The primary flavors are savory and subtly sweet, derived from the chicken itself and the marinade. Common marinade ingredients include olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, paprika, cumin, and sometimes a touch of sweetness from honey or sugar. The grilling process imparts a smoky char, adding depth to the overall taste. Variations may include bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes skewered alongside the chicken, contributing their own distinct flavors.

Marinating Time
Marinate the chicken for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat.
Even Skewering
Cut the chicken into uniform cubes for even cooking. Avoid overcrowding the skewers, as this can prevent proper browning.
Grilling Temperature
Grill over medium heat to prevent the chicken from drying out. Turn the skewers frequently to ensure even cooking and a nice char on all sides.
Don't Overcook
Chicken breast can easily become dry when overcooked. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
