Chicken Kebab/Chicken Skewers with Mint Sauce

Without a chicken kebab no BBQ is complete in summer, this recipe would certainly add fun when you plan a BBQ in a hot sunny day in a lake or a park with your family. When I am writing this post I remember our first BBQ fun day after marriage spent in Beaver Lake with lot of friends, games with hot grilled chicken kebab. It has a dual name as many calls it as a Chicken Kabab and some as Chicken Skewers. Perhaps again this is for Rukmani :) as this is her favourite cuisine from me.

It’s a pure non spicy recipe hence it will be served with Mint sauce or tomato sauce.
