Morrocan Chicken Skewers

I needed a quick weeknight dinner (Wine Tasting to attend) so I pulled out my trusty Bon Appetit and found this recipe. Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs marinated for a few hours in paprika, garlic, chili flake, cumin and some Arizona Dreaming thrown in. On the MBGE at 400-425 for about 10-12, served with roasted broccoli and a Garlic/Olive Oil/Yogurt sauce that is to die for! Throw in a few Pitas and we have a delicious dinner that will soak up any wine we drink!

I will definitely make these again!

    That looks excellent!  I would love the full recipe as well if you dont mind sharing. 

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    Good job SmokingPiney, I was just getting ready to type it up. The Garlic Sauce really makes it. I used Greek Yogurt instead of plain for a little sweetness, while you can use regular I thought it was better. Let me know how it works out for you!

    This looks awesome! And, Evie, your pic looks every bit as good as Bon Appetit's! I eat chicken about 9 days a week so always looking for something to change it up a bit. Thank you!

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Looks fantastic SmokeyPitt! Did you put veggies on the skewer too? If so which ones? We need to try that, always looking for more ways to add those! Love when a plan comes together.

    Looks like an excellent meal to me. Just the right amount of char on that chicken to give good flavor.

    Here it is: cooked 400 "ish" for 12 minutes straight direct, flipping every 3 minutes with a pinch of cherry wood for smoke. Pounding the garlic in a mortar and pestle for the sauce was a bit of a chore. The next time I make this, I will will smear the garlic with a knife over salt. 

    My wife loved it and my impression is this recipe absolutely rocks! This has become an Egg staple in my house and I can't wait to serve this for guests.

    @evie1370

    Thank you SO much for posting your cook! It is beyond wonderful. =)

    @evie1370- I came back to find this recipe and realized I missed your question.  I used red onion and lemons.  I saw this in a different recipe and decided to give it a try.  I assume the lemons were just to add flavor but I actually ate a couple and they were really good.
