Marinated to Perfection: Our Signature Chicken Shish Kebab
The Secret to Unforgettable Armenian Chicken Kebab
At Yerevan Sac, our chicken shish kebab is more than just grilled meat – it's a testament to our dedication to authentic Armenian and Georgian culinary traditions. The secret lies in our meticulous 24-hour marination process, ensuring every piece of chicken is infused with rich, savory flavors that you won't find anywhere else.
We begin with hand-cut premium breast or thigh meat, carefully selected for its quality and tenderness. Each piece is then bathed in a proprietary marinade crafted from fresh yogurt, fragrant garlic, and a unique blend of Caucasian spices. This extended marination time allows the natural enzymes in the yogurt to tenderize the chicken while the spices penetrate deeply, creating an explosion of flavor with every bite.
Expertly Skewered and Grilled
Once perfectly marinated, our chicken is expertly skewered with vibrant, fresh bell peppers, adding a touch of sweetness and char to complement the succulent meat. Our culinary team takes pride in their expertise, having honed the art of mangal grilling for over 15 years, ensuring that each kebab is cooked to perfection over open flames, leaving it juicy on the inside and beautifully caramelized on the outside.
We believe that the quality of our ingredients directly translates to the exceptional taste of our dishes. That's why we meticulously source our spices, traveling far and wide to find the highest quality herbs and blends that define the authentic flavors of the Caucasus. This commitment to excellence ensures that every kebab, including our famous chicken shish kebab, delivers an unparalleled dining experience.
