Preparation Steps for Turkish-Style Chicken Kebab

    • Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 5 hours to allow the flavors to infuse.

  3. Prepare the Kebab:

    • Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and thread the pieces onto metal skewers.
    • Lightly grease a baking tray with oil and arrange the skewers on it.

  4. Cook the Kebab:

    • Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).
    • Place the tray in the oven and rotate the skewers occasionally to ensure the chicken cooks evenly on all sides.
    • Cook until the chicken is fully cooked and golden brown.

  5. Optional Grilling Method:
