About Chicken skewer barbecued

Chicken Skewer Barbecued is a flavorful dish commonly rooted in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines, but enjoyed worldwide. It consists of marinated chicken pieces threaded onto skewers and cooked over an open flame or grill, imparting a smoky, charred taste. The marinade often includes olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, yogurt, and a blend of herbs and spices like paprika, cumin, and oregano, adding both depth and zest. This dish is a lean protein option, as skinless chicken contains minimal fat. Grilling enhances the health profile, avoiding excess oils typically used in frying. Served alongside fresh vegetables or whole grains like rice or quinoa, it maintains balance. However, the high sodium content in marinades or store-bought sauces can be a concern for some. Pairing it with light, homemade sides helps moderate calorie intake, making it a wholesome addition to a nutrient-rich meal plan.
