Prepare a Ziploc bag and place a chicken thigh inside, then cover it with another Ziploc bag.

Use a pounder to flatten the chicken thigh until it's very thin.

Transfer the flattened chicken to a large bowl and repeat with remaining thighs.

Add a small amount of olive oil to the bowl with the chicken.

Add ground coriander, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, kosher salt, black pepper, minced garlic, lemon juice (squeezed through your hand to avoid seeds), and tomato paste (about a quarter cup) to the bowl.

Mix the marinade into the chicken using your hands to ensure even coating.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate the marinated chicken for a couple of hours.

Prepare the rotisserie by placing half an onion on the skewer for stability.

Begin layering the marinated chicken on the skewer, flattening each piece as you go.

Add more chicken pieces, ensuring even distribution and avoiding thick sections.

Once all chicken is on the skewer, place another half onion on top and tighten everything down.

Set up the grill with mesquite briquettes and lump charcoal, then insert the skewer into the rotisserie motor.

Turn on the rotisserie and cook until the outside is charred and crispy, about 20 minutes.

Check for doneness, ensuring the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.

Prepare a yogurt sauce to accompany the kebabs.

Cut off the crispy outer bits of chicken to serve.
