Easy Chicken Seekh Kebabs

While trying to learn about the types of Arabic kebabs, many variants caught my eyes, all special and each one looking very good. But I wanted to prepare this particular minced meat kebab which is skewered and grilled. I'm not sure which country it comes from and to whom to attribute its origin, but I assure you that it's delicious, interesting, special.

We served the chicken kebab with salad, it was also appreciated by the children, so I definitely recommend it. In the future, I really want to try other recipes, with beef, lamb etc.
