Chicken Kebabs

yield: Makes 6 (main course) or 8 to 10 (with pilaf ) servings

active time: 35 min

total time: 8 3/4 hr

Soaking the chicken overnight in a yogurt marinade results in pillow-tender chunks faintly flavored with garlic. Turmeric adds a spark of Middle Eastern flavor and a happy orange hue. if (Epi.text.truncatedVersion) { Epi.text.truncatedVersion("recipeIntroText", "Soaking the chicken overnight in a yogurt marinade results in pillow-tender chunks faintly flavored with garlic. Turmeric adds a spark of Middle..."); } else { jQuery(function() { Epi.text.truncatedVersion("recipeIntroText", "Soaking the chicken overnight in a yogurt marinade results in pillow-tender chunks faintly flavored with garlic. Turmeric adds a spark of Middle..."); }); } Whisk together yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, turmeric, and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl, then add chicken, stirring to coat. Marinate, covered and chilled, at least 8 hours.

If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. When charcoal turns grayish white and you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill rack for 3 to 4 seconds, grill is ready (medium-hot). If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then reduce heat to medium-high.

While grill heats, drain chicken, discarding marinade, and thread chicken pieces about 1/4 inch apart onto skewers.

Lightly oil hot grill rack, then grill kebabs, covered only if using a gas grill, turning occasionally, until chicken is just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes.

Cooks' notes: ‧ Chicken can be marinated up to 16 hours.
‧ If you aren't able to grill outdoors, kebabs can be cooked in batches in a lightly oiled large (2-burner) ridged grill pan over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, 5 to 7 minutes.
