Ingredients
- 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- kosher salt
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 3 Tbsp plain yogurt
- 2 lbs skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 2” pieces
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- kosher salt
- vegetable oil (for grilling)
- Warm pita bread, labneh (Lebanese strained yogurt), chopped tomatoes, and fresh mint leaves (for serving)
Instructions
Place garlic in a mortar; season with salt and pound to a very fine paste. (Alternatively, place garlic on a cutting board, season with salt, and mash with the side of a chef’s knife.) Transfer garlic paste to a small bowl and gradually whisk in oil.
Very gradually whisk yogurt into garlic mixture until emulsified. (Add too fast and sauce will break. If it does break, gradually whisk in 1 tsp. water just before serving.) Do Ahead: Garlic sauce can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover and chill.
Toss chicken, garlic, parsley, cumin, paprika, and red pepper flakes in a medium bowl; season with salt. Cover and chill at least 2 hours.
Prepare grill for medium-high heat and oil grate. Thread chicken onto skewers. Grill, turning occasionally, until cooked through, 8–12 minutes.
Serve with garlic sauce, pita bread, labneh, tomatoes, and mint.
Do Ahead: Chicken can be marinated 12 hours ahead. Keep chilled.
