Bon appetit!
To prepare lula kebab you will need a minimum of ingredients: meat from chicken thighs,
onions, cumin, salt and black pepper to taste, as well as wooden skewers. All!
Let's get started.
Step 1: Prepare wooden skewers.
First of all, we need to soak the wooden skewers so that they don’t burn in the oven later. To do this, place wooden skewers in any container.
and fill it with water, the temperature of the water does not matter.
Just like that, let them lie in the water until we need them.
Step 2: Preparing the meat.
To prepare chicken kebab, I use meat from chicken thighs. I separate the meat from the bones and remove the skin.
From four chicken thighs I got 500 grams of meat.
If you wish, you can add a little chicken fillet, then the dish will become even more dietary.
Step 2: Preparing the onions.
Wash the onions, peel them, removing the top dry layer
and chop coarsely/at random.
Step 4: Preparing the minced meat.
Minced meat for lula kebab is minced meat; the meat can be finely chopped by hand, but it is easier and faster to use a meat grinder (with a large grid) or a blender.
Place chicken pieces in a blender bowl
onion,
cumin,
1 teaspoon or to taste
and all that remains is to add salt,
If desired, at this stage you can add pepper or your favorite herbs and spices.
Close the blender lid and grind all the minced meat ingredients.
You don't need to grind it into a homogeneous mass, but into small pieces. If your family doesn’t like onions, and without adding lula kebab is not tasty and is drier, then you first need to chop one onion into a pulp, and then add the meat to the blender and turn it on again.
For convenience in further work, transfer the minced meat from the blender into a large deep bowl.
Now you need to beat the minced meat well, take the whole mass in your hands and quickly throw it into a bowl, as with cutlets.
The minced meat is ready for further work!
Step 5: Forming lula kebabs.
Let's prepare a board on which the formed lula kebabs will be laid out; the board must first be moistened so that the pieces do not stick. Remove the wooden skewers from the water. You don’t need to pour the water in which the skewers were in; we will wet our fingers so that the minced meat does not stick to our palms.
From the beginning we make preparations, divide the minced meat into equal portions (about 100 grams each).
And now we form oblong cutlets in our hands and string them onto wooden skewers.
The formed lula kebabs need to be placed in the freezer for 20-30 minutes so that they set.
Step 6: Oven.
Turn on the oven to warm up to 220*C.
Take any baking dish or frying pan and grease it with a little vegetable oil.
and lay out our frozen lula.
Place the pan in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes.
These are such handsome guys! Everything is simple and delicious!
Step 7: Submission.
Serve lula kebab with fresh vegetables and herbs
I wish you all a bon appetit, a good mood and may it be delicious!!!

Fragrant and tasty chicken kebab is a simple and easy-to-prepare dish that even a novice cook can handle.
Fresh greens, pickled onions, a little pita bread and rosy, golden chicken kebabs... In a few minutes and without much hassle, you have a gorgeous lunch or dinner on your table that will delight even the most discerning gourmets with its taste! What’s doubly nice is that the dish is based on only three main components: chicken breast, onions and spices, and regardless of whether you cook the kebab on the grill, in the oven or in a frying pan, the result will certainly please you.
Today I want to offer you two options for preparing chicken lula kebab at home: in a frying pan and in the oven. And also two ways to prepare pickled onions - an appetizer and a traditional kebab companion, which perfectly complements the dish. Shall we begin?!
Prepare the ingredients according to the list.
Let's start by preparing the pickled red onions as they need time to steep.
Cut the red onion into thin half rings. Boil the water. Add a pinch of black pepper and bay leaf to hot water. Place the onion in water for 1-2 minutes.
Then drain the hot water.
Add the juice of 1 lemon (or lime) and the juice of half an orange to the onion.
Also add a pinch of marjoram (fresh or dried), parsley (optional), 1-2 pinches of salt and 0.5 tsp. apple cider vinegar. Mix the onion and spices well and let simmer for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
The peculiarity of this recipe is that from the moment you add the fruit juice, the onion will begin to change color. After half an hour the onion will turn dark red, and after an hour it will turn bright pink with a hint of fuchsia. In addition to its unusual color, onions will delight you with a very pleasant and unusual taste. A light marinade based on fruit juice gives the onions a sweet and refreshing citrus note.
To prepare a classic version of the appetizer, cut onions and greens into thin half rings. Add salt, sugar and vinegar and mix everything thoroughly. Let the onions sit for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Soak wooden skewers/skewers in cold water.
Chop the chicken breast very finely or grind it in a blender.
Add finely chopped herbs and onions to the chicken meat. Also add salt and ground black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly.
Beat the resulting minced meat for 3 minutes until it becomes viscous and dense.
To prepare minced chicken kebabs in the oven, add meat from chicken legs to the breast - the kebabs will be more juicy. Cut the meat from the bone, add to the chicken fillet and grind in a blender or meat grinder.
As in the previous version, add onions and herbs to the chicken meat. Also add 1-2 tsp. and 1-2 finely chopped garlic cloves. Mix everything well and beat the minced meat for 3 minutes until it becomes dense and homogeneous. If time permits, the finished minced chicken can be placed in the refrigerator for 30–60 minutes.
Divide the minced meat into small portions and with your hands lightly moistened with water, form small “cutlets” from the minced meat. Place a portion of minced meat on a wooden skewer and knead into the desired shape (see the video version of the recipe for more details).
Chicken lula kebab can be given a classic elongated shape or an additional design can be applied.
Fry the kebabs in a frying pan, grill or grill on both sides until golden brown.
Or bake in an oven preheated to 190–200 degrees for 30 minutes: 15 minutes on one side and another 15 minutes on the other.

A wonderful and tasty alternative to regular kebab came to us from Caucasian cuisine - this is lula kebab. Despite the method of preparation, this meat dish still remains a kebab, and not cutlets.
By preparing lula kebab outdoors or simply at home in the oven, you will amaze your household and guests with your culinary skills!
Kitchen appliances: oven, grill or barbecue.
Required Ingredients
Lula kebab
Pickled onion
- Onions – 2 pcs. large;
- Greens – ½ bunch;
- Sugar – 0.5 tbsp. l.;
- Salt – 0.5 tbsp. l.;
- Apple or table vinegar - 1 tbsp. l.
To submit
- Lavash is thin;
- Lettuce leaves;
- Greens - optional.
How to choose the right ingredients
To prepare lula kebab, you need to use chicken fillet, from which you can prepare minced chicken yourself, and for cooking in the oven, the minced meat should be supplemented with finely chopped chicken drumstick meat, with which you will preserve the juiciness of the finished meat.
Also, to maintain juiciness, choose chilled or fresh chicken meat, not frozen.
Cooking sequence
- Rinse all the meat needed for work under running water. From the chicken drumstick for lula kebab, we separate the meat from the bone and skin, and then, together with the fillet, you need to chop it with a heavy knife to the state of minced meat.
- Now peel the onion and finely chop or three on a coarse grater, the greens should be finely chopped. Combine the prepared onions and herbs with the minced meat, add salt and pepper, add seasonings to taste and mix thoroughly.
Did you know? In order for all the excess moisture to come out and make it easy to sculpt lula kebab, the minced meat must be thoroughly beaten, lifting it 15-20 cm above the bowl or table and sharply dropping it down. Beat for 5-7 minutes.
- Cover the container with beaten minced meat with cling film or a plastic bag and put it in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Also, if the lula is on wooden skewers, they must be soaked in water and allowed to stand for about an hour.
- While you have free time, you can pickle onions. In order for the onion to marinate, it only needs leave for 15 minutes, but I prefer onions that have well absorbed all the marinade juices, so I cook them earlier.
- We peel the onion, cut it into thin half rings, and also finely chop the greens and put it all in a deep container. Add salt, sugar and vinegar, mix and leave to marinate.
- After the required time has passed, take the minced meat out of the refrigerator and begin to form the cutlets. Before this process, scald the skewers with boiling water.
Did you know? If the minced meat sticks to your hands too much, soak them in warm water.
- We string the finished balls onto wooden skewers or skewers and knead along their length, leaving a little space at the edges. On the grill, grill or frying pan, lula kebab is fried quite quickly. Each skewer or skewer must be turned over frequently.
- When the crabs acquire a golden brown crust, remove from the heat and place on a dish prepared for serving.
- For the oven, place the skewers on a ceramic plate and cook for 30 minutes, and after 15 minutes, turn each sausage over and bake again for 15 minutes.
