Joojeh Kabob (Persian Style Grilled Chicken)

Celticevergreen's Note:

I've made this recipe using chicken thighs and legs and it comes out great. Not sure where I got it but now it resides in my recipe box as a featured part of my list of dishes I make for company. Makes a great cold dish for picnics after being cooked at an earlier time.

This chicken came out great, but I did make a few changes. I used boneless, skinless chicken and lemon juice instead of lime. I marinated for 2 hours. This chicken was full of flavor. Next time I will try it with the lime juice!

Fantastic! I totally forgot to review this! We make as directed and serve it with basmati rice topped with chopped parsley or cilantro, grilled tomatoes and naan. We squeeze a bit of fresh lemon on the kabobs prior to eating. We love it!!! Thanks Celtic for sharing this recipe! Awesome!
