    I am Turkish and I approve this recipe but we don't use much cinnamon in our kebabs and we use large amount of cayenne. Actually, we sometimes marinate the chicken kebabs only with vegetable oil, salt and cayenne. This one looks yummy, we usually serve it with bulghur pilaff.

    I saw my comment below from 2016 and had a hard time believing that it has been that long! This dish remains our absolute favorite of any of your recipes. It is the one we make the most often, and we are having it again today. I just put the chicken in to marinate. We often have it with lemon beer, which we first tasted when we were in Spain a few years ago. There is nothing like sitting in the sun with a plate of grilled chicken, vegetables, and lavash bread, sipping on the lemon beer. Thanks for this amazing recipe, and for your entire channel. You rock!

      Ihsan Kibar I like practically any dish that is seasoned the Turkish way :) I like all the kebaps and koftes, also pide, cacik, piyaz, paltican salatsi, mucver, love Turkish bread and cheese. And sucuk is simply delicious :)
      (sorry for not inserting Turkish letters) Turkish flavours, aromas, music and landscape are very closely connected with my childhood - my father worked for over a year in Turkey and my mother and I visited him there a couple of times. :) Although I know only few words in Turkish, I love the sound of Turkish language :)

But guess what ketchup is a staple in U.S. kitchens and is often a secret ingredient or a go to as a substitute. As a matter of fact I use allspice instead of cinnamon sometimes.Experiment within the family of ingredients and enjoy a great basic recipe.

    Actually used this marinade the other day on pork tenderloins. I had some on hand and was searching for a middle eastern inspired marinade. Chef John is never wrong, so I thought, "Why not?" Marinated in the fridge for 3 hours and then seared in a pan and roasted in oven at 400 till 160 degrees inside. I swear to God this was the best pork tenderloin I ever made. I can't wait to try it on chicken next. Thank you!

    As I sit here and watch your video, a feeling of utter bliss floods over me as I bite into this savory chicken thigh kebab that you helped me prepare. The earthy flavors of cumin are matched equally with the surprise punch of red pepper, but it's the subtle yet alluring scent of cinnamon that draws me in for another morsel. The tenderness of the chicken thighs are, in thanks to your expertise and guidance, extremely moist and tender on the inside, yet crispy on the outside!
    I had planned to prepare fresh cucumber, tomato, and sliced onion like you recommended in the video, but the temptation of devouring the chicken itself was too difficult to resist as it came smoking off of the barbeque grill-- its elegant sizzle the exclamation mark of my dinner to be. Alas, I end my meal sated, with a growing excitement on what amazing future Food Wishes adventures await!
    Thank you, Chef John for this wonderful recipe!
    All best! :)

    I am from Turkey and kebab we make is not even close to this BUT I must say it looks delicious. We cook kebab not in a grill but on embers. NEVER USE KETCHUP,just no (but you are forgiven since you are american and my favorite chef). Dried pepper you used is being used in red meat kebabs especially on eastern cities, it is so hot that not much people can eat without sweating. I am not a yogurt marinade fan btw, I think it takes away the chicken flavor. But hey,thanks John! You did a great job anyways :)

      Years too late I know, but I have made this recipe in an oven (on a tray, gas mark 8 for 30-40 minutes, turning 1/2 way through) and then once cooked give it 1 minute or two each side on a hotplate for that final searing and bit of burning!

    Looks delicious but it's funny how american guys think greek, turkish, persian and arabic cultures are (maybe almost) the same. Cinnamon? Really? You never eat chicken kebab with cinnamon here in Turkey. :) Cinnamon is a very strong spice we usually use in desserts and hot sweet drinks. If I used ketchup in a kebab, mom would never talk to me again. We use salça and we normally make it at home. Cacık (what you call tzatziki) is; yogurt, water, minced cucumber, garlic and dried mint. You don't buy it from the store. It's like "I have ice and water but I need to buy iced water from the store". American people have quite a low resistance to marketing. Cacık is a Turkish food but you can't find it at a store. Nobody will buy it. Anyways, this could be called a kebab by Americans but it's definitely not Turkish. :) btw, if they sell you that taco bread as lavash, they are stealing your money :)
