Aromatic Chicken Skewers with Yogurt Marinade

Description

These aromatic chicken skewers are a delightful twist on traditional kebabs, perfect for a summer barbecue or a casual get-together. The chicken thighs are marinated in a creamy yogurt mixture infused with garlic, lemon juice, and a blend of warm spices like cumin, paprika, and a hint of cinnamon. The yogurt tenderizes the chicken, while the spices create a flavorful crust when grilled. I've been making this recipe for years, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The marinade can be prepared ahead of time, making it ideal for meal prepping. Serve with a side of rice or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal. The slight kick from the red pepper flakes adds a lovely warmth, but feel free to adjust the amount to your liking. Enjoy!
