Additional Tips

For a more succulent flavor, brush the poussins once or twice with melted butter when they are almost cooked.

This basic recipe can have many variations. You could, for instance, prepare chicken or turkey kebabs in the same fashion, or boneless chicken breasts, turkey cutlets, chicken or turkey thighs - boneless and pounded - and flattened turkey breast slices.
