Notes

  • 2 inches of chicken pieces are ideal for chicken boti kabab. 
  • Use boneless chicken breast or chicken thighs.
  • Always use thick yogurt to make kabab as it helps to maintain the thickness of kabab marinade.
  • Make sure to release water after rinsing the chicken pieces otherwise the marinade will become watery. 
  • Thread the kabab in skewers using the middle side of the chicken pieces. This step will save the chicken from falling on the skewers after cooking. 
  • Roasted almonds and cashew powder are optional to add to this recipe. If you add it will enhance the nutty flavor and help to stick the marinade with the chicken while cooking. 
  • Lubricate the chicken with cooking oil will make it moist, and juicy and help to tender the chicken. 
  • 5 5-minute broiling (cooking in the oven from an upside grill) can help to get a nice roasted color. 
  • If you like the velvety texture of chicken then add 1 teaspoon of papaya paste or just add ⅓ teaspoon of baking soda. It will help to break the muscles of meat to make it velvety. Add wisely otherwise the chicken will get mushy.
