For the Tavuk Sis

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Skewers

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning. If using metal skewers, they are ready to use.

  3. 3

    Skewer the Chicken

    Thread the marinated chicken thighs onto the skewers, packing them tightly but not overcrowding.

  4. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 75°C (165°F).
