Try Chef John's spicy yogurt marinade for flavorful grilled chicken skewers all summer!
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup whole-milk Greek yogurt
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, or more to taste
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon Aleppo red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1.5 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 0.125 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, halved
  • 4 long metal skewers
Instructions:
  • In a large bowl, combine yogurt, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, ketchup, red pepper flakes, salt, cumin, black pepper, paprika, and cinnamon, and whisk until smooth.
  • Coat chicken thigh halves in the yogurt marinade, ensuring they are fully covered. Refrigerate with plastic wrap for 2 to 8 hours.
  • Get your outdoor grill ready by preheating it to medium-high heat and giving the grate a light coating of oil.
  • Skewer half of the chicken thighs onto each pair of skewers to create a hearty "log" shape.
  • Grill kebabs until they no longer stick, around 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook the other side for another 3 to 4 minutes. Keep grilling and flipping until chicken is fully cooked, for approximately 6 more minutes. Check with a thermometer to ensure it reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
