Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken thighs, boneless and skinless, cut into cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley
- 1 tablespoon freshly chopped thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Marinate: In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, plain yogurt, onion powder, ginger powder, paprika, cumin, turmeric, chopped parsley, and thyme to create the marinade. Season with salt and pepper.
- Prepare Chicken: Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours, or overnight for deeper flavor.
- Preheat Oven: Set the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment or lightly grease it.
- Assemble Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, spacing pieces slightly apart.
- Bake: Place the skewers on the baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden-brown.
- Broil for Finish: Optionally, broil for 2-3 minutes for extra color and char.
- Rest: Let the skewers rest for a few minutes before serving.
Tips and Serving Suggestions
- Marinating Time: For the best flavor, let the chicken marinate overnight.
- Serving: Serve the skewers with a side of rice, fresh salad, or over a bed of steamed vegetables.
