For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the marinade. If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the chicken in a grill pan on the stovetop or bake it in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through. Serve this Yogurt-Marinated Grilled Chicken with a side of grilled vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, cilantro, lemon juice, garlic, salt, cumin, cayenne pepper, and black pepper until well combined. (5 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or a non-reactive container. Pour the yogurt mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Seal the bag or cover the container and gently massage the marinade into the chicken. (5 minutes)
03
Step
8 hrs
Refrigerate the chicken and let it marinate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, for maximum flavor infusion. (3-8 hours)
04
Step
30 mins
Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for approximately 30 minutes before grilling. This will ensure even cooking. (30 minutes)
05
Step
0 mins
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350-450°F or 175-230°C) and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
06
Step
0 mins
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the used marinade.
07
Step
12 mins
Place the chicken thighs on the preheated grill and cook, turning occasionally, until grill marks form and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). This should take approximately 5-7 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the chicken. (10-14 minutes)
08
Step
7 mins
Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in even more tender and flavorful chicken. (5-10 minutes)
