While the traditional Chapli Kabab is typically made with ground beef or lamb, you can also prepare it using ground chicken. The process involves mixing ground chicken with various spices and ingredients similar to the beef version, such as coriander, cumin, chili powder, onions, tomatoes, and herbs. The mixture is then formed into patties and fried. Although the flavor might differ slightly from the beef version, the chicken Chapli Kabab offers a lighter alternative for those who prefer poultry over red meat.
