👨‍🍳 Cooking Process:

1️⃣ Chicken 🍗
Marinate the chicken thighs with mustard, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, and garlic.
Let it marinate for about 1 hour ⏳

💡 Baking lifehack:
• Take a whole potato 🥔 and cut it in half.
• Insert one wooden sushi stick🥢 into each half.
• Thread the marinated chicken pieces vertically onto the sticks, like a shawarma rotisserie.
• This way the meat bakes evenly and stays juicy.

Bake in the oven for 25 minutes at 160°C (320°F) 🔥

Remove the meat, brush it with ketchup 🍅, and return to the oven for another 10 minutes.

Cut the cooked meat into small pieces 🔪
