Marinated Grilled Chicken
Yogurt marinade. Tenderizes without turning the meat to mush.
⏱ 40 min · easy · 🍽 serves 4
Ingredients
- 3 lb chicken thighs, boneless
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 6 garlic cloves, grated
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 2 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp coriander
- 2 tsp kosher salt
Steps
- Whisk everything but the chicken into a marinade.
- Toss the chicken through it and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
- Scrape most of the marinade off, leaving a thin coating. Excess yogurt burns rather than chars.
- Grill over high heat 5-6 minutes a side until charred in patches and cooked through.
- Rest 5 minutes before slicing.
👨🍳 Yogurt is gentler than a citrus marinade. It can sit overnight where lemon alone would leave the meat chalky in three hours.
