Servings: 4
Calories: 487
Ingredients
- 1.6 pounds Chicken Thighs deboned, skin on (750 grams) (See note 1)
- 1½ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon paprika
For the marinade:
- 1 tablespoon Turmeric Powder (See note 3)
- ½ cup Greek Yogurt (See note 4)
- A Handful of Fresh Parsley
- 4 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Season the chicken thighs with salt, black pepper and paprika.
- In a plastic container/large bowl/large Ziploc bag combine the turmeric, Greek yogurt, finely chopped parsley and honey. Put the seasoned thighs in and move them around until they are all coated in marinade.
- Cover with a lid/plastic wrap/zip the bag and keep in the fridge for at least 1 hour (for best results overnight).
- Grill them on both sides (start first with the skin-side down) until cooked through (around 20-25 minutes).
Notes
- You can also use bone-in chicken thighs. Just note that the grilling time might be longer.
- The time stated in this recipe does not include time needed for marinating. In general, the longer you marinate the more tender the chicken will become. I recommend marinating overnight but the shortest time is 1 hour.
- Turmeric can be omitted completely.
- Greek yogurt can be substituted with natural/plain yogurt.
- The grilling time might vary. This depends on the thickness of the thighs and the grill temperature.
