Turkish cuisine is renowned for its rich flavors, aromatic spices, and vibrant colors. Among its many delicious offerings, kebabs hold a special place.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 6 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon red Pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon Kosher Salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Black pepper grounded
  • ½ teaspoon Cinnamon grounded
  • 2 ½ pounds boneless chicken thighs skinless
  • 4 metal Skewers

Instructions
 

  • Add your yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, olive oil, ketchup, cumin, black
  • pepper, paprika and cinnamon in a mixing bowl and mix them together.
  • Take your chicken thighs and soak them in the yogurt marinade. Coat the chicken thoroughly
  • and cover all the sides. Close the bowl with any plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for
  • a few hours.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F or 204 degrees C high heat and brush a bit of olive oil on a
  • basket. Arrange with a grill grate.
  • Thread the chicken thighs using 2 skewers. Put half of the chicken on one skewer and the other
  • half on the other skewer. This will create quite a thick log-type shape.
  • Put the chicken on the grill grate and let it stay there for some time. Make sure not to move the
  • skewer until it starts to unstick from the grill. This process should take about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Keep on cooking the chicken until all the juices run out and the center is not pink. You will know
  • that the chicken is ready to serve when the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165
  • o‑F.
