1

Preheat the KUDU over medium-high heat.

2

Place the chicken, onion, and tomatoes into a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with Moroccan spice (you can make your own or purchase it ready-made). Add a generous pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

3

Add the fresh herbs, garlic, and the juice of ½ a lemon. Give everything a good toss to evenly coat the chicken and vegetables.

4

Evenly portion and thread each skewer, alternating between the chicken, onions, and tomatoes.

5

Carefully place the skewers on the grill; grill each side for about 4 minutes. Grill the other half of the lemon, flesh side down, next to the skewers to give it a slight char, then squeeze the lemon juice over the skewers before serving.

Serve with mint Greek yogurt sauce!
