Ingredients

• 2 lb Chicken thighs
• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 Cucumber
• 2 Lemon
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 2 tsp Oregano
• 1/4 cup Olive oil

Steps

1. Cut the chicken into 1.5-inch chunks so they cook through before the outside burns.
2. Whisk the lemon juice, half the garlic, oregano, olive oil, and salt into a marinade.
3. Coat the chicken and marinate 30 minutes at room temperature.
4. While it marinates, grate the cucumber and squeeze it dry in a towel — this keeps the tzatziki thick, not watery.
5. Stir the cucumber into the yogurt with the remaining garlic, lemon, and salt.
6. Thread the chicken onto skewers and grill 4 minutes per side until charred and cooked through.
7. Rest the skewers 5 minutes.
8. Serve with a generous dollop of tzatziki.
