Equipment

1 bowl
1 cutting board
4 skewers
1 BBQ Charcoal Grill

Ingredients

600 g chicken thighs no skin, deboned
1 pc bell pepper red or other colour

For Marinade

1 teaspoon sea salt kosher
1 teaspoon ground pepper freshly ground
1 teaspoon paprika mild
1 teaspoon garlic granules or powder
½ teaspoon turmeric powder
2 tablespoon yogurt Greek
2 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
½ pc lemon juice freshly squeezed

Instructions

Dice the chicken thighs into roughly 2-3 inch pieces. Place all the diced chicken into a medium-sized bowl.
Take your bowl of prepared chicken thighs and sprinkle over it the salt, ground black pepper, paprika, and garlic granules. Add the turmeric, Greek yogurt, the olive oil, and finally, the lemon juice.
Using clean hands, gently massage the marinade into the chicken, ensuring that every piece is thoroughly coated.
Cover the bowl with cling film or a lid and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least one hour.
Cut the bell pepper into roughly 2-3 inch squares, aiming for a size similar to your chicken pieces.
Take your skewers and begin threading on the chicken and pepper pieces alternately.
Grill the skewers over medium heat (not direct flames), turning every 3-4 minutes. Cook until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred, about 12-15 minutes total.
Serve with fries and Greek salad.

Notes

If you have more time, you can even marinate the chicken for up to a few hours for an even deeper flavor infusion!

If you're using wooden skewers, you might want to soak them in water for about 30 minutes beforehand to help prevent them from burning on the grill.

For this recipe, the amount of chicken and pepper should be enough to make approximately four generous skewers.

Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the pepper is tender. Avoid burning by managing the heat and turning frequently.
