Instructions

1 In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt, olive oil, paprika, cumin, cinnamon, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, pepper and garlic.
2 Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean up. Thread the chicken onto metal skewers, folding if the pieces are long and thin, alternating with the red onions. Be sure not to cram the skewers. (Note: You'll need between 6-8 skewers.) Place the kabobs on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the marinade all over the meat, coating well. Cover and refrigerate at least eight hours or overnight.
3 Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. To grease the grill, lightly dip a wad of paper towels in vegetable oil and, using tongs, carefully rub over the grates several times until glossy and coated.
4 Grill the chicken kabobs until golden brown and cooked through, turning the skewers occasionally, 13 to 15 minutes.
5 Lightly toast buns on grill. Remove and dress with tahini sauce, lettuce and sliced cucumbers.
6 Remove buns and gently remove metal skewer from the meat and vegetables.
7 Serve with sweet potato fries and dip.
