Chicken Testi Kebab: Lighter, Same Tradition
Chicken Testi Kebab brings Cappadocia's famous pottery kebab tradition together with a lighter flavor. The cooking method is the same as the classic Testi Kebab; the difference is that chicken is used instead of red meat. The result is a juicy, tender dish with a pronounced vegetable aroma.
Why Chicken in a Clay Pot?
Chicken can easily dry out when cooked quickly. In a testi pot, it's a different story: the sealed clay pot locks in moisture so the chicken cooks in its own steam. The meat turns melt-in-your-mouth tender, soaks up the juices of the vegetables, and reaches your table without ever drying out.
How Is It Prepared?
- Chicken is packed into an Avanos clay pot with tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic and butter.
- The mouth of the pot is sealed with dough, trapping the steam inside.
- Slow-cooked for hours over embers or in a stone oven.
- It arrives sealed at your table, is opened before your eyes, and is served with lavash or rice.
Ideal for Families and Children
Thanks to its lighter, softer texture, Chicken Testi Kebab is a frequent choice for families with children and guests who do not eat red meat. All our dishes are halal and no alcoholic beverages are served, so families can dine with complete peace of mind.
Pre-Order, Skip the Wait
Since cooking in the pot takes hours, we recommend selecting Chicken Testi Kebab in your reservation; our kitchen will put your pot on the fire according to your arrival time. For a richer, more classic flavor, you can also try our Meat Testi Kebab.
