Ingredients
- 900 grams Boneless chicken thighs
- 120 ml Plain yogurt
- 30 ml Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons Ground coriander
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 15 ml Lemon juice
- 30 grams Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the marinade. Whisk together the plain yogurt, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, dried oregano, ground turmeric, salt, black pepper, and freshly squeezed lemon juice in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Add the boneless chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for deeper flavor infusion.
Step 3
Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat.
Step 4
Thread the marinated chicken thighs onto skewers, leaving space between each piece to promote even cooking.
Step 5
Place the skewers onto the preheated grill. Cook the chicken skewers for about 15-20 minutes, turning them every 5 minutes to ensure they are evenly grilled on all sides and reach an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).
Step 6
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, cut the chicken into thin slices using a sharp knife.
Step 7
Serve the chicken doner with warm pita bread, chopped fresh parsley, tomatoes, cucumbers, and a drizzle of your favorite sauce, like tzatziki or garlic mayo.
