Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
In a large bowl, combine the grated yellow onion, plain yogurt, lemon juice, bloomed saffron, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: Ensure the saffron is fully bloomed to release its maximum flavor and color.
2
Add the chicken breast cubes to the marinade and mix well, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
Aproximativ 1 min.
3
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and tenderize the chicken.
Aproximativ 2 ore
Nota bucătarului: Longer marination results in more tender and flavorful kabobs.
4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are ash-gray before cooking.
5
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the metal skewers, without overcrowding them.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: If adding optional vegetables like bell pepper or tomato, alternate them with the chicken on separate skewers or at the ends of the chicken skewers.
6
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Aproximativ 1 min.
7
Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.
Aproximativ 15 min.
Nota bucătarului: The internal temperature of cooked chicken should reach 74°C (165°F).
8
If using, grill the tomato halves and bell pepper pieces alongside the chicken until softened and slightly charred.
Aproximativ 5 min.
9
Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.
