Instructions

1. Cut the chicken thighs into even pieces about 1½ inches thick and put them in a large bowl.
2. Add the olive oil, yogurt, lemon juice and zest, tomato paste, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt and pepper to the chicken and coat every piece well.
3. Massage the marinade into the chicken by hand, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight.
4. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes so they don't burn.
5. Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, leaving a little space between pieces.
6. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, or the oven to 400°F (200°C).
7. On the grill, cook the skewers 5 to 7 minutes per side until the chicken is cooked through and has grill marks.
8. In the oven, place the skewers on a lined baking sheet and bake 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway, until cooked through and golden brown.
9. Rest the skewers for a few minutes after cooking before serving.
