Chicken Sosaties (Kebabs)
Marinated chicken skewers with dried apricots and onions, grilled to perfection. A sweet and savory South African favorite. Marinade naturally gluten-free.
Ingredients
- 1000 g Chicken breasts, cubed
- 1 cup Dried apricots, halved
- 1 large Red onion, quartered
- 2 tbsp Curry powder
- 1 tsp Turmeric
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp Apricot jam
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black pepper
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 tablespoons of curry powder, 1 teaspoon of turmeric, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of grated ginger, 2 tablespoons of apricot jam, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper until well combined.
- 2Add the 1000 g of cubed chicken breasts to the bowl with the marinade. Toss the chicken to ensure every piece is fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
- 3Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers, alternating them with the 1 cup of halved dried apricots and the 1 large red onion, cut into quarters. Aim for an even distribution of ingredients on each skewer.
- 4Preheat your grill to medium heat, which is approximately 176.7-204.4°C (175-200°C).
- 5Place the prepared skewers on the preheated grill. Grill for 10 to 15 minutes, turning the skewers occasionally. The chicken is cooked through when it is no longer pink inside and reaches an internal temperature of 74°C, and the apricots and onion are tender and slightly charred.
- 6Remove the chicken sosaties from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. This allows the juices in the chicken to redistribute, ensuring a more tender result.
