Method
Prepare the Yogurt Sauce
- In a bowl, combine 2 cups of plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill, 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 grated garlic clove. Season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Whisk until creamy and smooth, then cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Marinate the Chicken
- In a separate bowl, blend 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon lemon-pepper seasoning, 2 teaspoons crushed fennel seeds, 2 teaspoons dried oregano, and a pinch of salt. Add 1/4 cup of vegetable oil, stirring to combine. Cut 2 1/4 pounds of chicken thighs into even pieces, add to the marinade, and let marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Prepare the Grill
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, aiming for around 400°F. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Skewer the Ingredients
- Remove chicken from marinade and thread onto soaked or metal skewers, alternating with sweet onion wedges and thickly sliced zucchini.
Grill the Kebabs
- Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Turn occasionally, ensuring chicken is fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F.
Serve and Enjoy
- Once grilled to perfection, remove the kebabs from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving warm with the chilled dill yogurt sauce and pita bread.
