Many dishes from other nations have come into Russian cuisine, which we cook quite often. Shish kebab is an Armenian dish, our people loved it most of all.

Shish kebab has gained its popularity in our region a long time ago. Over the course of its existence, the recipe for the dish has changed slightly, but overall remains the same. Nowadays, any outdoor recreation is always accompanied by a barbecue with skewers.

The classic kebab recipe consists of lamb, but now people make dishes from any available meat, some use fish. Vegetarians often make kebabs from vegetables. To prepare a tasty and inexpensive dish, you can buy chicken meat.

Buying quality chicken for barbecue

The optimal weight would be an individual weighing up to 1.5 kg when chilled. If you take a heavier carcass, the kebab will be drier and will not have a delicate taste.


Frozen meat is also suitable for barbecue, but there are some nuances: firstly, it must thaw naturally, and secondly, strictly forget about the microwave. If you don’t listen, you can forget about the juicy kebab.

When frying meat on skewers, first cut it into small pieces, so it will fry faster and remain juicy inside. If you purchased fillet, you will have to mess with the marinade, otherwise you will end up with dry meat.

The best option for barbecue is thighs - they have skin and are quite juicy.

Let's look at the steps of cooking chicken step by step:

  • We wash, clean and dry the meat. Cut into pieces and place in a deep bowl.
  • Add sour cream, mustard, crushed garlic, grated white horseradish, honey, and all the necessary spices to the bowl. Mix well, and then let the chicken stand in the cold for a couple of hours.
  • Now all you have to do is thread the pieces onto skewers and send the kebab ready. That's what we'll do.
  • You need to fry it a little longer - about 25 minutes, but on low heat. Don't forget to turn over.
