Method:

Soak 10 kebab skewers in water for 30 minutes.

Mix the chicken mince with the other ingredients in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Divide the mixture into 10 equal portions, about two tablespoons per portion. Roll each portion into a ball and thread it through a skewer. Using your hands, shape them into a log, pressing tightly so they don’t disintegrate when frying.

Heat oil in a large pan and fry the skewers evenly for about 4 minutes.

Serve hot.

Notes

You can use whole chicken breasts and chop them up in the food processor.
These kebabs can be cooked on a coal fire or in the oven, although the stovetop is the quickest and easiest method.
