Chicken Keema Kabobs

Keema kabobs are heavily seasoned ground chicken wrapped around skewers and are either grilled or broiled. Making them is pretty self explanatory. The difficult part is skewering wet ground chicken. The secret is to toss the seasoned ground chicken thigh in the freezer for a half hour to firm it up. When forming the chicken around the skewer, it helps to wet your hands to keep the chicken from sticking. The kabobs will take about 15 minutes in total to grill.
