Chicken Kebabs image

Soaking the chicken overnight in a yogurt marinade results in pillow-tender chunks faintly flavored with garlic. Turmeric adds a spark of Middle Eastern flavor and a happy orange hue.

Yield Makes 6 (main course) or 8 to 10 (with pilaf ) servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup plain whole-milk yogurt (preferably thick Greek-style)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon turmeric
2 pounds skinless boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
Equipment: 10 metal skewers

Steps:

  • Whisk together yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, turmeric, and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl, then add chicken, stirring to coat. Marinate, covered and chilled, at least 8 hours.
  • If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. When charcoal turns grayish white and you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill rack for 3 to 4 seconds, grill is ready (medium-hot). If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then reduce heat to medium-high.
  • While grill heats, drain chicken, discarding marinade, and thread chicken pieces about 1/4 inch apart onto skewers.
  • Lightly oil hot grill rack, then grill kebabs, covered only if using a gas grill, turning occasionally, until chicken is just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes.
