Grilled Schug Marinated Chicken Shish Kabob

Grilled Schug Marinated Chicken Shish Kabob

Chef

Schug is a Yemenite inspired marinade with a kick of heat. Green is the most common color due to the fresh herbs and peppers used, but it could also be red. The yogurt sauce will help balance out the heat from the jalapeno in the marinade.
