Instructions

  1. If you are using bamboo skewers you will need to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from charring.
  2. Make a recipe of Tandoori Marinade.
  3. Save out 2 tablespoons of the marinade and refrigerate the rest.
  4. Place chicken in shallow dish.
  5. Sprinkle with salt; toss.
  6. Add 2 tablespoons marinade and mix.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
  8. Thread chicken onto skewers. I usually use 4 skewers making sure the meat is not crowded too much.

  11. Brush the top side of the kebobs with a coating of vegetable oil.
  12. Place skewers oiled side down on broiler pan.

  16. Using a pair of tongs, turn the kebobs and broil for another 2 to 3 minutes.
