Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, curry powder, paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, minced garlic, grated ginger, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and thoroughly coat each piece in the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to develop.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the chicken thighs on the grill, skin side down. Grill for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is slightly charred and crispy.
Transfer the grilled chicken to a serving platter and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish the chicken with freshly chopped cilantro and serve immediately. You can pair it with rice, naan, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
