• 2 1/2 lb boneless chicken thighs, cut in 1 1/2-inch pieces
• 1/2 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
• 2 tbsp red pepper paste

1. Stir together everything except the chicken, then add the chicken and coat it well.
2. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or up to overnight.
3. If using wooden skewers, soak them 30 minutes, then thread the chicken on, pressing the pieces close together.
4. Grill over medium-high heat, turning every few minutes, until charred in spots and the chicken reaches 165°F, 12 to 15 minutes.
5. Serve with warm flatbread, sliced onions tossed with sumac, and a crisp salad.
