Hints & Tips

Below we added some of our communities most common hints and tips. We hope you find them useful.

Swap This

Use pork instead of chicken, or swap chicken breast for skinless boneless chicken thighs.

If you use wooden skewers, make sure you soak them for 20 minutes before you assemble the kebabs to prevent them burning in the oven.

Absolutely delicious

Served with wedges, a mini wrap & yogurt minty dip.

Delicious Fakeaway and quicker than takeaway

This was delicious 😋 we decided to cook ours just in the oven without the skewers and it still worked great. It makes a great alternate to kebab meat if you prefer chicken kebab. So easy and so quick to make.

Quite easy to make. Marinaded chicken for just couple hours.

Marinated the chicken and decided not to put on skewers and it still worked fab. Made into soft pitta kebabs and served with homemade wedges. Perfect Saturday night meal beats a takeaway. Will be making again total win for the family too. Bonus

Totally delicious

Followed the recipe to the T, maybe I’d make it a little spicier next time.

Marinade the chicken overnight for extra flavour

I added black nigella seeds to the peppers and onions .

So quick and easy.

This was amazing, I chopped the veg and marinated the chicken over night so just had to come home and cook it, it took no time at all and was absolutely delicious 😋

Colour

I added half a teaspoon of red food colouring powder to add a red colour to the chicken

To keep the calories on the low side we used gluten free pitta bread and made home made chips! It was a little dry but with light mayo everything was perfect! We love this recipe and have now replaced the normal Saturday kebab takeaway with this!

Easy recipe to follow!

I added the peppers to the kebab sticks, to encourage the children to eat them.
