Romanian Chicken Kebabs – Frigarui
This frigarui recipe is a Romanian barbecue favourite. The flavours of the grilled Romanian chicken kebabs are so good that you will want to make this recipe every time you fire up the grill.
Ingredients
- 1 kg deboned chicken thighs
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp chilli flakes (I used Urfa Biber chilli, which are smoked and not very spicy)
- 2 tsp dried thyme
- 1 juice from one lemon
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 red peppers
- 1 courgette
- 2 medium red onions
Instructions
- Cut the chicken into bite size pieces
- Make the marinade by mixing the salt, pepper, chilli flakes, and dried thyme.
- Mix the chicken with the marinade, then add the olive oil and the lemon juice. Mix well.
- Leave to marinate in the fridge, for 2 hours.
- If you are using wooden skewers, submerge them in water for a minimum of 30 minutes.
- Cut the vegetables in chunky pieces, all around the same size.
- After two hours have passed, start building the kebabs. Start with a slice of onion, and then alternate meat with vegetables until you reach the top.
- Before grilling, spray the chicken kebabs with olive oil.
- Grill over the charcoal barbecue for around 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Serve along with other barbecue favourites such as fries, tomato salad, or pickles.
