Chicken Shashlik with Gravy Recipe
What is Chicken Shashlik?
The popular grilled or skewered dish known as chicken shashlik, often spelt "shashlyk" or "shishlik," has Caucasian and Central Asian origins. Traditional ingredients include chunks of marinated chicken, but you can also use beef, lamb, or even vegetables.
Small, bite-sized chunks of chicken are often sliced up for shashlik, which is then marinated in a tasty concoction of yoghurt, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and various spices. Although the marinating procedure can vary, it typically entails letting the chicken sit in the flavours for several hours or overnight.
After marinating, the chicken pieces are strung on skewers in between chunks of tomatoes, bell peppers, and onions. The chicken is then cooked thoroughly and has a charred, smoky flavour by grilling these skewers over an open flame or on a barbeque. The flavour and scent of the food are unique thanks to the grilling method.
Depending on regional variations and individual preferences, chicken shashlik is frequently served with a variety of sides, including rice, pita bread, or flatbreads, as well as sauces or condiments such yogurt-based sauces, tzatziki, or spicy chilli sauce. The fragrant and tender grilled chicken makes it a favourite dish in many Middle Eastern, Central Asian, and Eastern European cuisines.
