Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Kebab Mixture: Grate one medium onion and one medium red bell pepper, squeeze out excess juices, and combine with 500g of finely minced chicken, garlic paste, green chili, sweet paprika, red chili flakes, and parsley. Knead until mixed, cover, and chill for at least 1 hour.
  2. Assemble Kebabs: Divide the mixture for easy skewering. Wet hands with chilled water and shape onto flat metal skewers into sausage-like forms about 4 inches long.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (400°F/200°C) and lightly oil the surface.
  4. Grill the Kebabs: Cook kebabs on the grill for 5-6 minutes per side, turning occasionally to achieve even browning.
  5. Serve Deliciously: Remove kebabs from the grill, let rest, and serve hot with sides like Mediterranean Yellow Rice or flatbreads.
