  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt

Equipment

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Grill the chicken skewers for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and nicely charred.

  6. Serve the smoky chicken skewers with the garlic yogurt sauce on the side.

Notes

You can soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before use to prevent burning.
