Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 2 tbsp pulbiber flakes
  • 1 tbsp garlic granules
  • 1 tbsp Turkish or Greek oregano
  • 1 tbsp sumac
  • 1½ tsp cumin
  • 1½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 500 g boneless chicken thighs
Combine the pulbiber, garlic granules, oregano, sumac, cumin, black pepper and salt in a container and shake to combine; label it and keep it on hand.
Turkish-inspired rub
  • 2 tbsp Turkish rub
  • 1½ tbsp olive oil
Mix two tablespoons of the rub with one and a half tablespoons of olive oil in a bowl and combine with 500 grams of chicken cut into bite-sized pieces.
Fold each piece of chicken in half and slide it onto a skewer, six to seven pieces per skewer, then spread the pieces slightly so they are not compressed.
  • 20 g tomato paste
Grill over white hot coals for about 10 to 12 minutes, rotating every couple of minutes for an even cook.
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 50 ml water
Mix the tomato paste, paprika and water and brush the glaze on once the outside is seared on all sides.
