Description
Yogurt, lemon juice, ginger and spices makes a flavourful marinade for boneless chicken pieces. They’re threaded onto wooden skewers, then cooked on the grill.
Ingredients
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, in 1 1/2-inch cubes
1 cup plain yogurt
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp finely grated peeled fresh ginger
1 tbsp kosher salt
2 tsp smoked paprika
2 tsp hot paprika
2 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
Directions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, ginger, salt, smoked paprika, hot paprika, garlic, black pepper, cumin and cayenne pepper. Set aside.
Place the chicken in a large zipper-top plastic bag. Pour in the marinade and seal, tossing to make sure everything’s well distributed. Place on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 4 and as many as 8 h.
Drain the chicken and discard the marinade. Thread the chicken pieces tightly onto wooden skewers.
Heat a charcoal or gas grill to medium-high and generously oil the grates. Grill the skewers until they’re well browned on all sides and centre of chicken registers between 160 and 165°F on an instant-read thermometer, 3 to 4 min per side.
Transfer skewers to platter and let rest for 5 min before serving.
Enjoy!
