When he said "And last but not least, everyone's favorite secret ingredient--" I was admittedly hurt it wasn't cayenne.

As a turkish I can easily say thats a quite delicious recipe. But I wanted to say we do not use cinnamon in marinate. You also should try finely chopped parsley in marinate and maybe little fresh mint and thyme.

I've really gotta stop watching these videos when I'm hungry

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!

Hi Chef John! I tried making this over a grill pan since I don't have a charcoal grill and the marinade is just phenomenal. Your videos are fantastic and never fail to bring a smile to my face. Thank you for everything you do.

Made this for lunch today! Big hit with my husband and our exchange students. We will be making this again! Love your channel!

I'm from Turkey, sooo happy you made this!

I've made this like 8 times and i keep coming back to it

why does everything sound like a question

This guy has me dying "I never research anything" 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Excuse me while I eat my laptop

Chef John my 7y/o daughter and I we just love watching your Videos, You are awesome man!

This has to be the most tastiest recipe but very funny at the same time, usually within a minute I get bored this is just too funny and right to the point!

theres somethig about how chef john says "as always, enjoy" that lights up a fire in my heart n makes me smile thank u fro that

CHEF....TRUST ME WHEN I SAY THAT YOUR RECIPE IS RIGHT ON THE MONEY... HOW DO I KNOW??.. BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN EATING THIS ALL MY LIFE AND MY FAMILY AND TURKS MAKE IT THIS WAY... YES IM TURKISH SO YOU CAN BE PROUD THAT YOU DID IT TO A TEE..

Thank you chef John. I made this for Christmas Eve lunch, and the whole family loved it. Greetings from the western isles of Scotland!

I love the fact that his commentary is punctuated with humorous lill remarks and his sing songy way of talking is so endearing. He clearly loves and respects food.

I made this today and it was absolutely fantastic! Very tender and flavorful! I made a few additions though- added a tabslespoon of hot chili garlic paste and 1/4tsp of cardamom powder. SO GOOD, THANK YOU!

That looks amazingly delicious!!

"Because I'm an a American, I reserve the right to use ketchup", Lol lol that was so hilarious

I have to say that I love your taste in food and the well thought out process of picking some of the most tastiest recipes while keeping it fairly simple but your sense of humor is what takes your videos to the next level! Keep up the great work!

Well, made this today and I can say it's absolutely delicious. It's going to be a firm favourite from now on x

_"man cannot live by chicken and bread alone"_ Is that a challenge?

Wow. we have an amazing Turkish restaurant down the road from my house and this looks exactly like my favourite dish! they serve it with the same vegetables but also add a mix of pickled veggies and red pepper couscous on the side with some amazing ridiculously soft bread.

Another great recipe. You can’t beat marinated grilled chicken thighs and the combination of cucumber, tomatoes and red onions used in the wrap with the tzatziki and hummus was spot on. Will make again when all the kids and grandkids are over for another Sunday dinner.

I don't know how many times I've watched this video over the years..... but still love it!!!!

"and begin the impaling process" i dont know why, but that really made me laugh

I made these for Father’s Day , the compliments keep coming, even days later. Thanks Chef, you made me a rockstar!

I really love how your videos are great for everyone. an experienced cook like myself doesnt need to know exact amounts for what you are doing, and a home cook can still make it exactly how you do following the blog post. genius. best cooking channel/show since emeril live.

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!

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 :)

Chef you HAVE to try the same "Onion Salad" with lots of Sumac added! :D This is how we really do it in Turkey :)

God bless the Turkish Muslims who rescued my Christian great great grandmother. I'm a SoCal boy and don't mind when the metropolitan Turks are credited with an original combination and thank you Chef John for bringing another fabulous meal to us all.

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! :)

Nice job! That is as close as it can get. Thats more turkish than the kekabs of turkish youtubers. And btw turkish tacos are called "dürüm".

I am a Turkish girl and I can say this is really AMAZING!!

I made this for the first time a year or two ago, I am addicted to food wishes! It was DELICIOUS!

Chef John I tried this recipe tonight and it was phenomenal. I know my way around chicken but this blew most of my recipes out of the water man. My wife (generally impossible to please with chicken) was scouring her plate and thats unicorn-rare territory thanks for sharing this winner!

I'm Turkish and love this dish a lot so here is a pro tip - throw those onions into a small bowl, then throw in some sumac. Give it a good mix. NOW enjoy. You're welcome.

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 :)

He sounds so geniune and his cooking are on the top...

Just made this for my family...it was freaking delicious...We love you Chef John!

I tried this today, and wow, it tastes amazing. Thanks John!

I came home from Turkey yesterday and wanted to find one of these recipes, nice timing.

There simply no words for this!

Thanks so much! And I love your narration!

WHO ELSE IS RESEARCHING RECIPES ON QUARANTINE LMAO

"What are Aleppo chili flakes?" - Gary Johnson

I made this last night and turned out great, thank you

sometimes i feel that you are just a crazy chef whom does not know how to cook or fry an egg and on another hand, some times i feel that you are one of the most creative chefs i like to watch and to try his cooking recipes and food wishes..... good work pal - I like this one.... thank you

For anyone wondering, whilst this does (of course) work best with chicken thighs, I have done this several times with chicken breasts and it works beautifully.

I've never laughed so hard at a cooking video. Just your yogurt line was worth the price of admission.

Thank you Chef for posting this easy, but delicious meal! Definitely going to make this again!

Soaked lavash is the best part of any BBQ :)

The oscillating voice is drivin me nutsss

This was so delicious!! Definitely a keeper

Just made this and was amazing! Also used your homemade pita recipe and it paired perfectly. I mixed the veggies with evoo, lemon juice, white wine vinegar salt and pepper and fresh garlic = Best dinner ever!!!👍👍

Hi Chef John, is it possible that you can make an episode with beef Shawarma and Persian rice? =)

Now this is fun Summer time eats. Too bad that's come and gone; Summer.

Looks GREAT ... Must try it soon. Thanks.

Looks absolutely delicious! Most definitely going to make this!!!!

The tone of his voice though. It's like he's singing a the last few words of each sentence.

Reeeeeeally shouldn't be watching this at 3 in the morning. D:

I’ve made this several times now. It’s always a hit. Thanks Chef John.

You are the best! Something new and easy to try!

I love #Turkish taco idea ;)

Seeing this just made me depressed... I just moved to a flat that has absolutely nowhere to have a BBQ, and this is the nicest looking BBQ chicken I've ever seen! :'(

The absolute best! Chef John you da man!!

Thank you so much. I love Turkish foods.

why the fuck I am watching this when I'm hungry af

Do you have kids? Because you are such a dad #dadmaterial

I am running out of adjectives but it deffinatly made my mouth water and I agree that yogurt lends a special something to anything you add it to, especially marinades.

Thanks for this recipe🙏🏻Turkish food is always delicious ❣️

now if only had a grill

I'm Turkish and that's how I marinade my chicken! With tomato paste though.

Made this yesterday for a family get together. Instant hit! Very easy and super delish paired with your Tzatziki sauce recipe. Thank you, Chef!

This looks wonderful

Ah! the ole poker poker!

Will you ever make gyros? Since you made a tzatziki sauce, a gyro would be something awesome to make.

Your recipes are great to watch. I'm looking forward to making and eating them all.

Love your cooking and your taking is sweet ♥️

made it about a half dozen times.... great. I even use the marinade as a veggje dip (cut garlic in half)

I am not jewish, so I can't eat kosher salt. What salt should I take as replacement?

Chef John... you are a genius!!! Just... WOW!!!

Just tried this awesome recipe, was absolutely bombastic! We don't have a garden so made it in a grill pan, and since most of my family doen't like hot food we skipped the chili flakes, though to make up for it we used tomato paste and not ketchup. Needless to say the kebabs were better than any other we had before :)

Looks delicious. At first I found your voice very irritating, but eventually it grows on you. Even your corny jokes are quite enjoyable after a while.

we call it "sheesh tawooq" the boneless chicken version of kebab because if you say chicken kebab it means that the chicken in minced.

I love this channel. Thank you !

One of my favourites Chef John!

Food Wishes Since you are doing chicken by country names, LOL!! Would you do the infamous Palestinian Chicken??? PLEASE!!!!!!!! I have made it before but I think your recipe would be awesome. One of my favorite episodes from Curb Your Enthusiasm. Thank you in advance!!!

Chef John, you are funny. There I said it.

Delicious! i tried it and it turned out very well. my family loved it. thanks for the recipe! 😍😍

Love your recipes👍

The Turk inside of me died a little when he dumped ketchup in there.

I love these videos but the way he ends his sentences always sounds like a question mark? After each sentence? Which is kind of weird? Like this? Haha.

I love chef John's mixing bowls, they're a cool shape

This recipe is great we loved it!

I feel like I should know this, but why does the lemon juice need to be fresh?
