Chicken, Lamb or Beef Kebabs (1.5 syns each)
These kebabs are succulent, spicy and tasty! They are easy to make. Fry them off in a splash of oil. You can make them either as patties or as skewers. The chicken ones are less flavorsome than the beef or lamb. However, one thing you can do is to mix the chicken mince with either the mince lamb or mince beef. It gives the chicken a more deeper taste.
