Tandoori Chicken Kebabs

FLAVOR BOOSTER A ginger-and-lime yogurt marinade spiked with chopped jalapeños adds tang and a little heat to skinless chicken thighs. Peach chutney makes a tart-sweet, low-fat accompaniment. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for thirty minutes before grilling.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
4 garlic cloves
1 piece fresh ginger (2 inches), peeled and chopped
2 jalapeño chiles, chopped (ribs and seeds removed for less heat if desired)
1 cup plain yogurt
8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 2 pounds total)
Vegetable oil, for grill
Peach Chutney, for serving (optional; recipe follows)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a blender, purée lime juice, garlic, ginger, and chiles. Add yogurt and blend until smooth.

    Step 2

    Trim chicken thighs; halve each lengthwise. Thread 4 chicken pieces on each of four long skewers. Arrange skewers in a nonreactive dish; pour marinade over, and turn to coat. Cover; refrigerate at least 2 hours (or up to 24 hours), turning occasionally.

    Step 3

    Heat grill to high; clean and lightly oil hot grates. Place skewers on grill; cook, covered, until grill marks are visible and chicken is cooked through, turning occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with chutney.
