Turkish Chicken Adana Kebab

Cultural Context

Originating from the Adana region of Turkey, Chicken Adana Kebab is a beloved street food that showcases the rich flavors of Turkish cuisine. Traditionally made with lamb, the chicken variation has gained popularity due to its lighter profile. Enjoyed with fresh vegetables and pita, it reflects the communal spirit of Turkish dining. Today, it's a favorite in many countries, often served at barbecues and gatherings, adapting to local tastes while maintaining its authentic essence.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C).

Brush the kebabs lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.

6

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and slightly charred.

While the kebabs are cooking, prepare a salad with chopped tomatoes, onions, and lettuce.

8

Warm the pita bread on the grill for 1-2 minutes until soft.

Serve the kebabs hot with the salad and lemon wedges on the side.
