Juicy chicken kebabs in kefir marinade

4 servings

35 minutes

Juicy chicken skewers in kefir marinade are a tender, aromatic, and easy-to-make dish from Russian cuisine. Kefir makes the meat especially soft, infusing it with a gentle sour milk flavor, while onion adds spiciness and a sweet note. Thanks to marinating, the chicken pieces become juicy, and grilling creates an appetizing crust. Sesame adds an interesting texture and nutty hint. This kebab is perfect for both a home dinner and a picnic. It is best served with fresh salad or greens to highlight its lightness and vibrant flavor.
