Chicken Shashlik
Chicken Shashlik

Last Updated on January 18, 2021 by Sultana Parvin

Shashlik is a very popular snack item which is liked by people of almost every region, particularly in SA and ME countries. Shashlik recipe and ingredients vary due to the different choices of people. Especially since the ingredients differ for those who are vegetarian or do not like to include meat. Although most people like to include chicken as the main ingredient, yet for vegetarians, it has to be meatless. Sultana’s Recipe thus included two variants of shashlik recipes: chicken shashlik and vegetable shashlik recipe.

Usually, in the case of chicken shashlik, medium-size boneless chicken pieces and similar pieces of ingredients other than ingredients like onion, capsicum, tomato etc. are included in the shashlik. All these pieces are arranged in sequence and inserted in a skewer (chicken shashlik sticks) through the center of each item. Chicken shashlik must be baked either in the electric oven or in the open grill burner for direct heating of the chicken and vegetable pieces. It is healthy food but you can keep the fat level low using less chicken/cheese pieces and more vegetables.

Step 1

I love to cook and like to share my delicious food recipes with my beloved friends.

Clean and remove the fat from the chicken breast. Cut chicken pieces into 2×2 inch size with a good quality sharp knife. I recommended a good quality knife for cutting. Wash and rinse the chicken pieces. Cut onion, capsicum, and tomatoes into cube size.

Step 2

Mix yogurt, lemon juice, ginger paste, garlic paste, chili powder, tomato sauce, salt, 1 tbsp oil, and hot spice powder in a bowl. Add the chicken pieces and vegetables to the spices mixture. Cover it and keep it for 45 minutes.

Step 3

If your skewers are wooden then soak the skewers for 10 minutes before skewing. Skew marinated capsicum, chicken, tomato, and onion to the skewers (wooden spike) closely one by one. Make two or three sets on each skewer. Make the sticks until the chicken pieces are threaded. Brush the spice mixture over the sticks.

Step 4

Take a baking tray. Spray or brush oil on the baking tray. Place the skewers on the tray and again brush a little oil on meat. Preheat the oven at 200⁰c for 5 minutes. Bake all shashliks oven at 180⁰c for 20 minutes then flip the skewers and bake for another 20 minutes. Remove the shashlik sticks from the tray.

If you want to avoid baking in an oven you can fry it through the burner. For frying the shashliks use a thick skillet. Heat oil in a thick skillet and fry both sides of the sticks until tender. For better result, after frying the shashlik you can bake it for only 10 minutes. That will give you a yummy look of shashlik.

  • Preheat the airfyer at 200⁰c for 5 minutes. Bake all shashliks at 180⁰c for 10 minutes then flip the skewers and bake for another 10 minutes.

  • Serve the chicken shashlik with homemade tomato sauce or any kind of sauce.
