Ingredients
- 1.8 kg chicken
- 2 large onions
- 2 tbsp yogurt
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- Two pinches saffron
- salt
- pepper
Instructions
- Cut the breast and thighs into medium-sized and equal pieces. You need separate sticks for breasts and thighs since their cooking times are not the same.
- Let the chicken pieces rest with salt, onion, (and optionally bell peppers) in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours.
- Then remove the onions and add your brewed saffron to the chicken for 1 hour.
- Add mayonnaise/olive oil, lime/lemon juice, salt, and pepper, depending on your taste, and let it rest for another 30 minutes.
- Place similar chicken cuts on the same sticks, breasts with breasts, and wings with wings.
- Now, you should heat the charcoal to a red hot color and let them get a little bit of ash on top.
- Place the sticks on the grill, only use your hand-fan or blower every 2-3 minutes only for 10 seconds. When you see one side getting cooked, turn your stick and let the other side cook.
