Chicken leg kebab
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Chicken is an excellent alternative to pork or lamb. Chicken meat is significantly cheaper, marinates faster, and is easier and quicker to cook. Besides, children prefer this kind of shashlik over fatty pork. For marinating shashlik, you can use wine, vinegar, honey with mustard, mayonnaise, kefir, or simply marinate it in spices with onion, as I'm showing. Serve hot.
