2 red onion med root & top removed then quartered
Marinade
180 g
Greek yogurt
2 tbsp
olive oil
3 garlic cloves grated

Method
Step 1
Use long metal skewers on the barbecue for two reasons, wood/bamboo ones will burn even after soaking in water, the metal will transfer the heat to the centre of the meat.
Step 2
Mix all the marinade ingredients in a bowl large enough to hold chicken, once mixed well add the chicken & leave in the fridge for at least 4 hours, over night is best.
Step 3
Pull apart the onion in leaves & thread one on then a piece of chicken then onion & so on, try to get 250g of meat on each skewer.
Step 4
Place on the barbeque or under a grill & cook for about 10 to 15 mins turning often, to ensure meat is cooked, take a piece off cut in half to see if its cooked all the way through.
Suggestion & Tips
Classic barbecue kebab, use a fork to de-string skewer onto a serving plate or dish. You could use Lamb. Nice with rice.
