Grilled Harissa Chicken Skewers
Grilled Harissa Chicken Skewers have marinated pieces of flavorful chicken grilled to perfection and served with a harissa yogurt sauce
Equipment
- Grill
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 5.3 oz container plain Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup Harissa spread (if you have harissa paste use a slightly less as the flavor is stronger)
- 1/4 cup chopped, fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons mayo
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 4 cloves finely minced garlic
- kosher salt, pepper
- 4 to 6 wooden kabob skewers (I soaked mine in water for several hours)
Instructions
- Trim any extra fat off of the chicken thighs and cut them into bite sized pieces. Place them in a gallon sized plastic bag.
- Put the yogurt, harissa , cilantro, mayo, honey, lime juice, garlic, kosher salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir until evenly combined.
- Set some of the yogurt mixture aside to use as a dipping sauce and pour the rest into the bag with the chicken. Massage the bag until the chicken is evenly coated and marinate in the fridge for several hours or overnight.
- Put the chicken onto 4 to 6 kabob skewers. Preheat your grill to medium high and once hot place the skewers onto the grill grates.
- Grill the kabobs 9 to 11 minutes total, flipping a few times. Serve with the reserved harissa yogurt sauce for dipping.
