Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1 ½-inch pieces
  • ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Whisk yogurt, oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat. Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  2. Thread chicken onto soaked wooden or metal skewers, leaving a small gap between pieces. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (400°F/200°C).
  3. Grill skewers, turning every 3 to 4 minutes, until charred and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes (internal temp 165°F/74°C). Rest for 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Transfer skewers to a platter, squeeze extra lemon juice on top, and scatter with fresh oregano or parsley. Serve hot.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes before threading to prevent burning. Marinate the chicken for 30 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours. Avoid marinating longer than 3 hours to keep the best texture.
