grilled chicken skewers in a spiced yogurt marinade

Combine the garlic, onion, paprika, cinnamon, turmeric, cardamom, cayenne, lemon juice, and yogurt in a blender or food processor and process until combined. Place the chicken in a nonreactive bowl and toss with the marinade to coat well. Cover and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours.

Soak wooden skewers in waters for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning.

Preheat the broiler or grill. Thread the chicken pieces on the skewers, brush with a little olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until opaque throughout. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Serves 6 generously.
