Grilled Za'atar Chicken Skewers Recipe

Cut the chicken pieces consistently before threading them onto skewers. Serve the garlic yoghurt alongside, with warm pita for scooping.

The Stuff:

• 1 1/2 Pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 2-inch chunks
• 2 Tablespoons Never Not Eating Za'atar
• 3 Tablespoons olive oil
• Salt, to taste
• 1 Cup Greek yoghurt
• 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 Garlic clove, finely grated
• Olive oil, for drizzling

The Method:

1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs, za'atar, olive oil, and a Pinch of salt. Mix well, ensuring that the chicken is well-coated with the za'atar and olive oil mixture.
2. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to an hour. For best results, marinate for up to 4 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
3. Once marinated, thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers.
4. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat, then place the skewers on the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char.
5. Once cooked, remove the chicken skewers from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
6. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the Greek yoghurt, lemon juice, and grated garlic. Mix well and season with salt to taste.
7. Transfer chicken to a large plate and serve with yoghurt sauce.
8. Drizzle with extra olive oil, if desired.
