Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken tenders (or thighs cut into 1.5-inch pieces)
  • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tsp garlic paste
  • 1 tsp ginger paste
  • ½ tsp minced green chili
  • 1 ½ tsp Kosher salt

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients. Add chicken pieces and toss until well-coated. Let it sit for at least 20 minutes or refrigerate overnight if meal prepping.
  • Make a small "well" in the center of the marinated chicken bowl and place a small heat-proof bowl or a piece of aluminum foil (shaped like a cup) on top of the chicken.
  • Using tongs, hold a piece of charcoal over a gas flame until it is red-hot and glowing.
  • Place the hot coal into the foil cup.
  • Pour 1 teaspoon of ghee or oil directly onto the coal. It will start smoking immediately.
  • Quickly cover the bowl with a tight-fitting lid or heavy foil to trap the smoke. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Thread the chicken onto four 8-inch metal or soaked wooden skewers. Leave a tiny bit of space between pieces to ensure the air circulates for even browning.
