Ingredients

Method
  1. Add all the ingredients to food processor except the chicken mince.
  2. Process everything until the mixture is finely chopped.
  3. Add the chicken mince and blend everything together.
  4. The mixture will form a sausage shape and swirl around the blender when it is mixed together.
  5. Form the chicken mixture into long sausage shapes and press onto skewers or placed directly into an tray like a thin meat loaf.
  6. With the side of your hand make indents.
  7. The chicken adanas can be baked in a hot oven for 15-30 minutes depending on the thickness of your kebabs, or they can be grilled on the BBQ 5-7 minutes.
  8. My mixture was2 inches thick and took 25 minutes to cook in a 200 degree oven.
