Total time: 22 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Turkish
Ingredients: 6 Chicken Thighs; 2 tablespoons Olive Oil; 1 tsp Fennel Seeds; 1 tsp Ground Cumin; 1 tsp sweet smoked paprika; 1 clove peeled crushed Garlic; 1 tsp Red Wine Vinegar; To serve Smoky Aïoli

These chicken skewers are marinated in a blend of warm spices like fennel, cumin, and smoked paprika, along with garlic and a touch of red wine vinegar. The marinade can be prepped up to a day in advance, making these a good option for a quick weeknight meal or easy entertaining. Once threaded, the chicken pieces sear quickly on a hot pan, developing a nice crust in just a few minutes per side. Serve them straight from the pan, perhaps with a smoky aïoli on the side.
