Halal chicken marinated in garlic, lemon and Middle Eastern spices, threaded onto skewers and grilled over live charcoal until the edges catch and the inside stays juicy. Served with fragrant rice, fresh salad, warm bread and creamy garlic tomeya at our family owned grill on Wellington Road.
Chicken skewers are the lightest of our charcoal grill orders and one of the easiest ways into Middle Eastern grilling. The marinade does the seasoning, the charcoal does the rest, and because we grill each order fresh the chicken never dries out waiting under a lamp.
London guests often describe our grilled chicken as juicy and the rice as genuinely flavourful rather than filler — and that is exactly the pairing this plate is built around.
The chicken is marinated ahead of service in garlic, lemon and warm spices, then skewered and set over live charcoal. High, direct heat seals the outside quickly, so the juices stay in. We turn each skewer by hand until it is cooked through with a light char.
Add hummus or charcoal-grilled wings to build a bigger Middle Eastern spread.
If you want the smoky charcoal flavour without a heavy plate, chicken skewers are the order. They are popular for weekday dinners and office lunches across south London, from Highland and Southcrest to the Wellington Road corridor.
