Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 cup Full-fat plain yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 4 wedges Lemon wedges (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, yogurt, paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2
Add the chicken thighs to the bowl, ensuring each piece is well coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and place the thighs on the preheated grill, skin-side down.
Step 5
Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on the first side, or until the skin is golden and crispy. Use tongs to carefully flip the chicken.
Step 6
Continue grilling on the second side for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain juices.
Step 8
Garnish the grilled chicken with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty finish.
