Today we will be doing chicken shashlik recipe. Its really healthy, vibrant, easy and delicious meal. Not only it looks great, but tastes super yummy, juicy and rich in flavours. Chicken shashlik is a very popular chicken recipe. Chicken pieces are weaved on skewers and then either they are fried or grilled on on hot charcoal.
Try this with other veg too like mushrooms and baby corn. You can also cook this on a barbecue - just make sure the chicken is cooked thoroughly and don't use any leftover marinade to brush the cooked chicken with. Shashlik is basically like a shish kebab, which translates to skewered meat and is a dish that was popular in central and South Asia. But it also became really popular in Soviet Union times, and we have this in Latvia all the time. This is a perfect recipe for Ligo ( Midsummer Latvian Holiday) coming up!
