Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Yogurt-Marinated Grilled Chicken Thighs.
Step 1
Start by grabbing a large bowl and mixing together creamy Greek yogurt, fresh chopped cilantro, zesty lemon juice, minced garlic, kosher salt, ground cumin, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and a dash of black pepper.
Step 2
Stir everything together until it’s beautifully blended and you can almost smell the vibrant flavors.
Step 3
Next, take your chicken thighs and place them in a large resealable plastic bag.
Step 4
Pour that luscious yogurt mixture over the chicken, making sure each piece is generously coated.
Step 5
Seal the bag tightly and pop it in the refrigerator to marinate for anywhere between 3 to 8 hours—this is where the magic happens as the flavors infuse into the chicken.
Step 6
When you’re ready to cook, take the chicken out of the fridge about 30 minutes beforehand to let it come to room temperature.
Step 7
Don’t forget to toss out that marinade; it’s done its job! Now, fire up your grill to a medium heat and give the grate a light oiling to keep things from sticking.
Step 8
Place the marinated chicken thighs on the grill and let them sizzle for about 5 minutes on each side.
Step 9
You’ll know they’re ready when you see those beautiful grill marks and the chicken is cooked through.
Step 10
Enjoy the delicious aroma wafting through the air as you prepare to serve up a flavorful feast!.
