These skewers bring the bold, sunny flavors of a Greek taverna straight to your backyard grill, and every single ingredient is naturally free of gluten — no swaps or substitutions needed. Boneless chicken thighs soak up a marinade of olive oil, fresh lemon juice, garlic, oregano, cumin, and smoked paprika for anywhere from one to eight hours, so the flavor goes deep before the chicken ever hits the heat. The result is juicy, charred-at-the-edges chicken that smells absolutely incredible the moment it lands on a hot grill. Homemade tzatziki — whole-milk yogurt, grated cucumber, fresh dill, and a squeeze of lemon — comes together while the chicken marinates, so you're not scrambling at the last minute. Store-bought tzatziki can be a minefield of thickeners and additives, which is exactly why making it yourself in five minutes is so worth it. A quick three-minute rest before serving keeps every bite tender and lets the juices settle. Finish with lemon wedges and a scatter of fresh parsley, and you've got a stunning dinner for four that looks like way more effort than it actually was.
