Refika’s Special Chicken Kebab Recipe 😍 You Will Want for the Rest of Your Life!

Welcome to our kitchen, where today, we're diving into the festive spirit of Ramadan with a recipe that's bound to become a favorite at your table - Chicken Shish Kebab! Whether you're looking for the perfect iftar meal or simply craving something deliciously different, our step-by-step guide will ensure you master this culinary masterpiece. Packed with flavors, tips on getting that perfect char, and ideas for the best marinades, this video is your ticket to becoming a shish kebab pro.
For the kebab;
350 g chicken breast (1 piece), diced
2 pieces of boneless chicken thigh (225 g), diced
4 cloves of garlic, chopped
½ capia pepper, chopped or use red bell peppers
1 green pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup hot water
1.5 teaspoon salt
¼ bunch of parsley, chopped
For the lavash sauce;
2 tablespoons of butter
1 cup water
1 teaspoon of chili pepper
10 sprigs of parsley, chopped
Sumac Onion
1 onion
1 teaspoon sumac
1 teaspoon of salt
5-6 sprigs of parsley, chopped
For serving;
4 lavash
4 tomatoes, halved
2 green peppers
Mix chili pepper flakes, hot water and olive oil in a bowl. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
Mince and mix the chicken breast, chicken thigh, garlic, red capia pepper, green pepper and salt with a knife. Add half of the red pepper sauce to the kebab mixture and mix again with mincing.
Divide the mixture into four. Thread the chicken mixture onto cold kebab skewers and secure by pressing with your fingers. Don’t forget to wet your hands. Keep the kebabs in the refrigerator until your cast iron pan heats up well.
When the cast iron pan is heated, cook the skewers without burning them, both sides. You can apply some red pepper sauce or just oil on top. Roast the tomatoes and peppers in the same pan.
For the sumac onion, rub the onions with salt, add sumac and parsley.
For the sauce of the lavash, melt the butter in a saucepan, add parsley, the rest of the pepper sauce, red pepper flakes and pour the water. It is ready when it boils.
Dip the lavash into the parsley red sauce, put the cooked kebab in it, and serve it with as many roasted peppers, tomatoes and sumac onions as you wish. Enjoy your meal.

Big Crocodile Dundee energy when Refika pulled that simitar-cutlass knife out! That's not a knife. THIS is a knife!

[@fungitorix]

You always make me so happy when I see that you use every last bit of food to make a meal. It always annoys me just as much when I see how much the world's chefs throw away when preparing a dish. Be blessed.

It makes me very happy that we see the world from the same perspective.🙏🏻

Turkish food is the best food in the world (British guy here), and everything I've made from your channel has been top notch. Well done, and keep it coming :D

[@jazminb1000]

Then you haven’t tried other foods like Persian or Indian. For Europeans and Americans Turkish food is the best obviously until they eat other Easter foods

[@NathanRussell1]

I am a vegetarian but even my mouth is watering at how lovingly you roll the lavash with a bit of this and a bit of that. I'd love to visit Turkey if only to be able to cook with you. 😄

I'm salivating as I write this Refika! Amazing recipe. Greetings from Athens!

[@rochelles.8387]

I made the chicken shish kebabs for dinner and they were spectacular! I did pulse the chicken mixture in a food processor and it worked well for me. I also only pan-fried narrow "kebab" logs of meat in the skillet along with the tomatoes and green pepper since I was only cooking for me. I can't wait to eat the leftovers tomorrow. Thank you Refika and crew for another wonderful meal! All My Best.

[@johnfroehlich3410]

I was in deringe to help with the earthquake after 2000 as a volunteer. I haven't had good kabah since I came back home to USA. Thanks for showing me how

[@robp9129]

Refika, I click ” Like” before I've even watched your video because I know I'm going to like what you present every time!! Last year, i was in Ankara for a month and your recipes are so fantastically authentic. Thank you so much from England ❤👏👍

[@clairewright8153]

Only slightly jealous that I’m not there sharing this amazing food. Yummmmmmmm I was blow away at how the red pepper flakes soaked up the water and oil, I’ve never seen this before. Really glad to see you never waste food so so many others. 😊😊😊

[@Refika]

Thank you so much, I really dislike waste, so it means a lot to me that you pay attention to that.

Sending love and hugs from Manchester UK 🇬🇧 I still need to try your kobedeh recipe which I saved long time ago. Love the tips and tricks you show as well.

[@rochelles.8387]

I wish I was part of your crew after seeing this prepared! Could the chicken mixture be pulsed in a food processor instead of hand chopping? You and your team are my favorite cooking vlog!

One of most favorite foods is Turkish. I remember my mother using the knives like that to make the mince meat for sheftalia

[@home8046]

OK. To hold the meat to the shish, put the shish in the freezer and meat in the refrigerator for 45 min... I will try this. Thank you Refika!

You can use the korean red peper flakes, they are mild spice and tasty. Also, no need for the dance with two knives.. just use the food procesor with all the chicken, garlic, parsely, garlic.. deboned chicken of course.. just do a couple of chop.. or pulses and your done.. do not over do it. (best turkish food is the one at the turkish restaurant.. )

[@OnurKennethYumurtaci]

Unfortunately many people in Turkey don't know about chicken kebab, as the majority of the country uses red meat instead. I had this in Tarsus about 20 years ago and have been looking for other restaurants that serve it ever since. So far I have only been able to find it in Antep, Urfa, Mersin and Diyarbakir while it's still missing from the cuisine of the majority of Turkey. I think this is a missed opportunity as it really is a unique approach to kebab with a very different flavor profile from the traditional kebabs. Definitely worth trying at home.

[@deebawaseem4702]

More than the food, I love the way you talk.
