Step 1
Cut the 1.5 lb chicken thighs into 1.5 inch chunks and place in a bowl. Add 1 cup yogurt, 2 tsp garam masala, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp salt. Mix well to coat every piece.
Step 2
Thread the chicken onto skewers, pressing pieces together. Brush all sides with the 2 tbsp vegetable oil.
Step 3
Preheat the broiler to high and place the skewers on a foil-lined baking sheet. Broil 6 inches from the heat until the chicken is charred at the edges and cooked through, about 10 minutes, turning once halfway.
Step 4
Rest the skewers for 2 minutes, then slide the chicken off and serve hot with lemon wedges or fresh cilantro if you like.
