Instructions

  1. 1

    {'id': 'step_0', 'step': 1, 'text': 'Whisk yogurt, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, ketchup, red pepper flakes, salt, cumin, black pepper, paprika, and cinnamon together in a large bowl.'}

  2. 2

    {'id': 'step_1', 'step': 2, 'text': '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.'}

  3. 3

    {'id': 'step_2', 'step': 3, 'text': 'Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.'}

  4. 4

    {'id': 'step_3', 'step': 4, 'text': 'Using 2 skewers for each kebab, thread half of the chicken thighs onto each pair of skewers making a fairly thick "log" shape.'}

  5. 5

    {'id': 'step_4', 'step': 5, 'text': '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).'}
