The history of chicken kebab dates back to ancient times, with its origins in the Middle East and South Asia. This popular dish consists of marinated chunks of chicken skewered and grilled to perfection. Renowned chefs like Turkish chef Nusret Gökçe, also known as Salt Bae, have elevated the art of preparing chicken kebabs, infusing them with their unique blend of spices and grilling techniques. Today, the best chicken kebabs can be found in Istanbul, Turkey, where the dish is a culinary staple. The key to a delicious chicken kebab lies in the marinade, typically made with yogurt, lemon juice, and a blend of aromatic spices like cumin, paprika, and garlic. For a twist, consider the famous tandoori chicken kebab, a traditional Indian variation cooked in a clay oven for a smoky flavor.
