Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, grated onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

  2. 2

    Shape the Kofte

    Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each portion into an elongated oval or cylindrical shape, about 2-3 inches long.

  3. 3

    Skewer the Kofte

    Thread each shaped kofte onto the skewers, pressing them firmly to ensure they stay on during cooking.

  4. 4

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and brush with olive oil to prevent sticking.

  5. 5

    Cook the Kofte

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the kofte from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with your choice of sides, such as rice, salad, or pita bread.
