Achari Chicken Kebabs are a popular Indian appetizer made by marinating bite-sized pieces of chicken in a spicy and tangy blend of pickling spices and yogurt. The chicken is then skewered and grilled to perfection, resulting in tender and juicy kebabs bursting with flavor.

The pickling spices used in the marinade typically include mustard seeds, fennel seeds, cumin seeds, and nigella seeds, which give the kebabs their unique and distinct flavor. Achari Chicken Kebabs are typically served with a side of mint chutney or raita, and make for a delicious and flavorful appetizer or main dish.
