The quality of meat is very important .The meat from the parts like chicken  legs or breasts make better kebabs.You can make these with red meat also.But you have to use a meat tenderizer like papaya juice in small quantity in that case.The kebabs should be very soft ,melt into mouth kind.That is the specialty of this kebab.
