Juicy and smoky BBQ chicken kaleji made with simple Indian style marinade and grilled to perfection. A quick and flavorful recipe perfect for small gatherings or weekend meals.

Ingredients

  • 250 g chicken liver
  • 1 tablespoon yoghurt
  • ¼ tablespoon turmeric powder
  • ¼ tablespoon cumin powder
  • ¼ tablespoon black pepper powder
  • 1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste
  • ½ tablespoon vinegar
  • ¼ tablespoon coriander powder
  • ¼ tablespoon garam masala powder
  • ½ tablespoon paprika
  • 1 small bell pepper
  • ½ tablespoon kasuri methi (fenugreek leaves)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 medium tomato
  • salt to taste

Instructions 

  • Cut the tomato, onion, and bell pepper (capsicum) into pieces similar in size to the chicken liver so they cook evenly on skewers. I cut them into about 2 inch square pieces, which fit perfectly.
  • In a mixing bowl, add the chicken liver along with the chopped onion, bell pepper, and tomato. Add all the spices, yogurt, vinegar, and butter. Mix everything well until the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  • I am making this recipe on charcoal to get an authentic smoky flavor. You can also cook it on a gas stove over low to medium heat. The smoky taste from charcoal is slightly different, but both methods work well.
  • Now prepare the skewers. Try to place onion pieces at the beginning and end of each skewer. This helps hold everything in place while grilling.
  • Cook the skewers, turning them from time to time. Brush with butter while cooking to keep them juicy and flavorful.
  • Finally, your barbecue chicken liver is ready to serve. Before serving, you can add some sliced onions and your favorite sauce or chutney.

Notes

  • Cut chicken liver into even pieces so they cook evenly on skewers.
  • Do not overcook, as liver can turn dry very quickly.
  • Marinate for at least 30 minutes for better flavor.
  • Brush with butter while grilling to keep it juicy.
  • You can cook on a stovetop if charcoal is not available.
