LIFESTYLE NEWS - Marinated chicken kebabs are a vibrant dish perfect for grilling season or any time you crave something delicious.
By soaking bite-sized pieces of chicken in a mix of spices, herbs and aromatic ingredients, the meat absorbs bold flavours and becomes incredibly tender.
Threaded onto skewers and grilled to perfection, these kebabs boast a smoky, slightly charred exterior and juicy centre.
Versatile and crowd-pleasing, marinated chicken kebabs can be customised with your favourite marinades and vegetables.
Serve them with warm flatbreads, fresh salads or dipping sauces for a meal that’s as festive as it is easy to prepare.
