Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on preferred)
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 handful Cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then add them to the bowl with the marinade.
Coat the chicken thoroughly with the marinade, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to develop.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F). Brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking.
Place the marinated chicken thighs skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 8-10 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired and serve with rice, naan, or a side salad for a complete meal.
