Hariyali chicken kabab, also popularly called as green chicken kabab is a lip-smacking appetizer. Bone- in / boneless chicken is flavoured with fresh green herbs, marinated in curd, then pan/ oven grilled to perfection. This can be served as a starter or with a bowl of rice on all occasions.
Here I have used chicken bone-in pieces. You can use boneless chicken, marinate, place them in skewers and grill too. This recipe is ideal for barbeque too!
