How to Make Chicken Bihari Boti
Prepare the Onions: Cut the onion in half. Grate one half and thinly slice the other half. Fry the sliced onion until golden brown. Remove from oil and crush it into small pieces.
Make the Marinade: In a large bowl, combine the crushed fried onions, grated onions, and all the spices and ingredients except the chicken. Mix well to form a smooth marinade.
Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and mix until each piece is coated well. Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight for the best flavor and tenderness.
Thread the Skewers: When ready to cook, thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers.
Grill the Chicken: You can grill the skewers on a charcoal BBQ or under a hot oven grill. Turn the skewers frequently to cook the chicken evenly on all sides. Brush lightly with oil occasionally to keep them moist.
Cooking Time: Grill for about 5–6 minutes on each side, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Serve: Serve hot with fresh salad, fries, naan, or parathas. The juicy, flavorful kebabs are perfect as a main dish or as a starter for a festive meal.
