Joojeh Kabab
Iranian Chicken Kebab
This is a BBQ grill recipe.
The Iranians are fond of kebabs and this chicken kebab is served both by itself or with other meat and vegetable kebabs. It's relatively easy to make and makes for a moist, tasty chicken. You can make it both with or without yogurt (in which case double the olive oil), but I think the yogurt made the chicken be particularly tender.
