Dinner 2 Hr. 27 Mins.

Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • 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

  • Whisk yogurt, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, ketchup, red pepper flakes, salt, cumin, black pepper, paprika, and cinnamon together in a large bowl.
  • Place chicken thigh halves into the yogurt marinade and coat them thoroughly on all sides. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate, 2 to 8 hours.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Using 2 skewers for each kebab, thread half of the chicken thighs onto each pair of skewers making a fairly thick "log" shape.
  • Place kebabs on the preheated grill. Do not try to turn them until they begin to unstick from the grill, 3 or 4 minutes. Turn kebabs and grill the other side for 3 to 4 minutes. Continue cooking and turning until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 6 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
