Name: Chicken Kebabs
Cook time: 35 min
Total time: 8 3/4 hr
Yield: Makes 6 (main course) or 8 to 10 (with pilaf ) servings
Ingredients: 1/4 cup plain whole-milk yogurt (preferably thick Greek-style); 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice; 6 garlic cloves, minced; 1 teaspoon turmeric; 2 pounds skinless boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces; Equipment: 10 metal skewers

Soaking the chicken overnight in a yogurt marinade results in pillow-tender chunks faintly flavored with garlic. Turmeric adds a spark of Middle Eastern flavor and a happy orange hue.

Cooks' notes:

• Chicken can be marinated up to 16 hours.
• If you aren't able to grill outdoors, kebabs can be cooked in batches in a lightly oiled large (2-burner) ridged grill pan over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, 5 to 7 minutes.
