How to cook deliciously - Turkish Chicken Kebabs

2 . Stage

3 . Stage

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

4 . Stage

Using 2 skewers for each kebab, thread half of the chicken thighs onto each pair of skewers making a fairly thick "log" shape.

5 . Stage

Place kebabs on the preheated grill. Do not try to turn them until they begin to unstick from the grill, 3 or 4 minutes. Turn kebabs and grill the other side for 3 to 4 minutes. Continue cooking and turning until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 6 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). DOTDASH MEREDITH FOOD STUDIOS
