Steps

  1. Whisk the marinade and coat the chicken; refrigerate at least 30 minutes.

  2. Thread onto skewers, leaving small gaps so the heat gets between the pieces.

  3. Grill over high heat 12–15 minutes, turning every few minutes, until charred and 74°C / 165°F.

  4. Rest 5 minutes and serve with flatbread, garlic sauce, and pickles.

Yogurt tenderizes without turning the meat mealy the way pure acid does.

Food safety Cook chicken to 74°C / 165°F.
