Grilled Turkish Chicken and Vegetable Skewers (Tavuk Şiş)
Experience the vibrant flavors of Turkey with these delightful Tavuk Şiş. Succulent chicken pieces and fresh vegetables are marinated in a zesty yogurt and spice blend, then grilled until tender and lightly charred. This recipe offers a healthy, satisfying, and straightforward meal perfect for any weeknight or weekend gathering.
Let's cook.
In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, minced garlic, olive oil, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Add the cubed chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for best flavor.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken and cut vegetables (red bell pepper, green bell pepper, red onion) alternately onto the skewers.
Grill the skewers for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
