Number Of Ingredients 16

4 garlic cloves

1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon cardamom
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

These kabobs were easy to make and turned out great! I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs and they were so tender and juicy. The marinade was also very flavorful. I will definitely be making these again.

If I could give these kabobs zero stars, I would. They were the worst kabobs I have ever had. The marinade was terrible and the chicken was inedible. I would not recommend this recipe to my worst enemy.

I had mixed feelings about these kabobs. The marinade was flavorful, but the chicken was a bit overcooked. I think I will try cooking them for less time next time.

These kabobs were good, but not great. The marinade was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

I liked the flavor of these kabobs, but I found the chicken to be a bit dry. I think I will try marinating them for longer next time.

I've made these kabobs several times now and they are always a crowd-pleaser. The marinade is so easy to make and really packs a punch of flavor. I like to serve them with grilled vegetables and rice.

These kabobs were a hit at my last party! The marinade is so flavorful and really penetrates the chicken. I grilled them over charcoal and they came out perfectly juicy and tender.
