Directions

Step 1

  2. Add remaining marinade ingredients except for the chicken. Mix well.
  3. Cut the thighs in half lengthwise. Add to the marinade and coat well. Refrigerate for 8 to 12 hours.
Step 2

Yogurt sauce

  1. Grate cucumbers and place them in a strainer. Sprinkle with salt, stir and let drain for 10 minutes. Press on the cucumbers to extract their liquid.
  2. Add cucumbers to the yogurt mixture, then add the chopped mint. Mix well and set aside.
Step 3

On the grill

  1. Preheat barbecue to medium-high. Oil the grill.
  2. Combine radishes with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  3. Thread chicken pieces onto skewers and cook them on the grill, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
  4. Cook radishes directly on the grill for about 5 minutes or until golden brown.
  5. Serve chicken and radishes on the pita and top with yogurt sauce.
