03 — Method

  1. Soak the 8 wooden skewers in cold water for 30 minutes so they don't burn on the griddle or grill.
  2. Make the marinade in the large bowl: mix the Greek yogurt, crushed garlic (germ removed), juice of 1 lemon and olive oil until smooth.
  3. Add all the ground spices (cumin, paprika, turmeric, coriander, ginger), salt and pepper. Mix well with a fork.
  4. Add the chicken and coat well. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate at least 2 hours in the fridge, ideally overnight.
  5. Take the chicken out 30 minutes before cooking. Thread onto the soaked skewers, packed slightly, 5 to 6 cubes each.
  6. Heat the griddle or grill until very hot. Cook the skewers 4 minutes per side, turning gently with tongs, until golden and charred in spots.
  7. Check doneness by piercing a cube: the juices should run clear and the meat be opaque, with no pink. Chicken must be fully cooked.
  8. Rest the skewers 2 minutes on a warm platter under foil. Serve right away sprinkled with chopped cilantro, with wedges of the second lemon.
