Cut the boneless chicken thighs into cubes and add them to the marinade. Ensure that each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for the best flavor.

Skewer the Chicken
Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.

Broil the Chicken
Place the skewers on a baking sheet lined with foil (if using a broiler) or directly into the tandoor. Broil for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.
