Whole Lemon Chicken

Step 1

Cut each chicken thigh in half and cut those halves in half. Place it in a bowl and set aside.

Step 2

To a food processor (or blender), add the chopped onion, whole garlic, and cut jalapeno. If using a food processor, pulse it until finely diced.

Step 3

Open the food processor and add in the yogurt, sliced lemon, and the spices.

Step 4

Blend until you have a smooth and creamy marinade. Be careful not to over-blend as the lemon can become bitter.

Step 5

Pour the marinade over the chicken thighs and let it sit covered in the fridge for at least one hour.

Step 6

Once the chicken is tender, take each piece and thread it onto the metal skewers.

Step 7

Get the BBQ hot and ready, place the skewers on the grill making sure to check on them every few minutes. I like to flip mine every 5 minutes on each side until the chicken is fully cooked or reaches an internal temperature of 165F (75C).

Step 8

Serve over rice, on pita, with tzatziki, vegetables, or a nice salad! Enjoy!
