Let’s dive into the ingredients and steps to create this delicious dish.
Ingredients:
- 1 kilogram of chicken skewers or any preferred chicken pieces
- 2 containers of yogurt
- Chicken spices (to taste)
- Dried thyme (to taste)
- Salt and black pepper (to taste)
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- Vinegar and a small lemon
- Lightly ground corn flakes
- Flour
- 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
- Eggs
Instructions:
- Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine yogurt with minced garlic, vinegar, lemon juice, and your choice of chicken spices. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt mixture.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken skewers or pieces into the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least two hours, allowing the flavors to infuse into the chicken.
- Coat the Chicken: After marinating, remove the chicken from the yogurt mixture. In a separate bowl, mix flour with dried thyme, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs. Dip each chicken piece first into the seasoned flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally, coat it with lightly ground corn flakes for an extra crunch.
- Refrigerate and Prepare for Cooking: Once all the chicken pieces are coated, place them on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. This step helps the coating adhere to the chicken and prevents it from falling off during cooking.
- Cooking Options: You have two cooking options for your Crispy Chicken Skewers. You can either fry them in hot oil until golden brown and cooked through, or bake them in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, serve your Crispy Chicken Skewers hot with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad. These delicious skewers are guaranteed to be a hit with family and friends!
