Thanks for this feedback. I agree. I always like to grind my own too to avoid this very same thing. I think this is what the issue is. Also, another problem might also be how fatty the ground chicken is.

An important note: lots of grocery stores sell ground chicken with water added these days.

I tried this recipe twice, and completely failed twice, then I noticed that the ground chicken I was buying from the store said it was packed in water with rosemary. When I combined all the ingredients in the bowl, I ended up with a mixture that was too way soggy to stay on the skewers. (And on the second try, I used dry bread.) So just beware that this might not work with *all* ground chicken — check the label on the product you’re considering buying. Or go to a real butcher, if you have one. If the chicken starts out waterlogged, you’re screwed; you’ll never get the mixture to the right consistency.

Made this for a quick iftar when I was on a time crunch & it turned out beautifully! I amped up the spice mix a bit increasing the measurements & adding turmeric + cumin. Popped the skewers in the air fryer to cook while I made yellow rice, cucumber yogurt & a tomato + cucumber salad with lemon & sumac.. Beautiful meal great for busy nights! Definitely going into regular rotation

This was so delicious!!! I didn’t have all of the spices on hand, but can’t wait to make it again with coriander and Aleppo! Since it’s too cold to grill, I used air fryer broil mode at 400F for 7 minutes. This will definitely become one of our dinner staples!

This was absolutely delicious. My son said, “make sure you save that recipe”, and I will! Great flavor and it paired really well with some pita bread, garlic sauce, rice and a cuc/tomato salad. I did have an issue with the chicken not wanting to stay on the skewers, but other than that, it was perfect. Thanks!

Might you have a garlic sauce/dip recipe to serve with your chicken kafta recipe?
I plan to make your kafta soon. It sounds flavorful! More so than others.
