Enjoy the wonderfully chewy texture of chicken necks right in your own kitchen with this easy-to-follow recipe! Instead of paying high prices at popular restaurants, you can make a generous portion at home by marinating and grilling 1kg of chicken necks. To eliminate any gamey odor, we’ll soak them in milk, and then enhance the flavor with cumin powder, commonly used for lamb skewers. Marinating with salt, pepper, and basil for about a day will result in incredibly tender, odorless, and deeply flavorful grilled chicken necks. This dish is perfect for special occasions or as a delightful appetizer with drinks!
Main Ingredient- 1kg Chicken Necks
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare your fresh chicken necks. If they are frozen, thaw them slowly in the refrigerator or by soaking them in cold water. Avoid using a microwave, as it can alter the texture of the meat.
Step 2
Rinse the thawed chicken necks thoroughly under cold water. To remove any unpleasant odors and tenderize the meat, soak them in milk for at least 1 hour. (Soaking overnight will yield even better results.)
Step 3
Remove the chicken necks from the milk and rinse them again with cold water. Drain them well using a colander. Properly draining the excess liquid helps the marinade adhere better.
Step 4
Now it’s time for the delicious marinade! Combine the cumin powder, salt, pepper, and dried basil in a bowl. Add the chicken necks and mix thoroughly to ensure an even coating. Make sure every piece is well-coated with the seasoning.
Step 5
Transfer the marinated chicken necks to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld. The cumin powder adds a wonderful depth, and the marination process allows the flavors to harmonize beautifully. (Marinating for a full day will result in an even richer taste.)
Step 6
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat, with no oil added. Place the marinated chicken necks in the pan and grill them until golden brown and slightly charred. The unique chewy texture of the chicken necks combined with the aromatic cumin will create a dish that’s sure to tantalize your taste buds. Enjoy your delicious grilled chicken necks!
