Transfer the onions to a plate and brush any extra spice paste back into the bowl.<\/p>\n<p>Add the chicken to the spice paste and toss to coat. Cover with a plate and marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes. (If making ahead, chill up to 12 hours in the refrigerator. Set out at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling.)<\/p>\n<p>Thread the chicken onto four to six (10-inch or longer) metal skewers (or wooden skewers that can be composted), keeping the chunks close together so the meat stays juicy.<\/p>\n<p>Coat the cold grill with cooking spray, then heat to 400\u00b0F, or medium-high heat. Place the skewers and the onions, round edges down, on the hot grill over direct heat. Cook the skewers, turning every 2 to 3 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and just barely charred, about 15 minutes. Remove the skewers from the grill and let rest for at least 5 minutes to allow the juices to set. Do not turn the onions as they cook; remove when lightly charred, about 18 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Transfer the chicken and onions to a serving platter. Sprinkle with the mint and serve as is or stuffed inside pita bread halves, if you like.<\/p>\n<p><\/div>\n<p class=\"author-credit\">Recipe and photo used with permission The Sustainable Mediterranean Diet Cookbook: 110 Easy, Healthy Recipes to Reduce Food Waste, Eat in Season, and Help the Earth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"back-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/winter-2023\/food-6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Back to Food Article<\/a><\/p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>View recipe<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":13424,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[35,168],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13568","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipe","category-winter-2023-recipe"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13568","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13568"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13568\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13571,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13568\/revisions\/13571"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13424"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13568"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13568"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13568"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
