Marinade and Chicken Skewers

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs and ensure they are well-coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Skewers

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Skewers

    Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, and onion onto the skewers, alternating between the chicken and vegetables.

  4. 4

    Grill the Skewers

    Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has grill marks.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Sis-Tavuk with rice or pita bread.
