GRILLED CHICKEN WITH YOGURT MARINADE



Grilled Chicken With Yogurt Marinade image

Boneless skinless chicken thighs are a reliable choice when it comes to grilling chicken. They're thinner than breasts, so they cook more evenly, and the higher fat content makes them difficult to overcook. In this recipe inspired by Turkish chicken kebabs, a yogurt and herb marinade makes them supremely tender and helps them brown beautifully on the grill. While some citrus-heavy marinades begin to break down chicken after just a few hours, this marinade uses only the zest, saving the juice for a quick squeeze before serving. The result is incredibly tender chicken you can prep up to a day in advance. Oregano and thyme work well together here, but feel free to play around with herbs and use what you have on hand, or substitute dried herbs in a pinch.

Time 3h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
2 garlic cloves, grated
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano (or 1 teaspoon dried oregano)
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for the grill or pan
1 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal), plus more for serving
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, plus more for serving
1 lemon
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
Chopped fresh parsley, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, garlic, oregano, thyme, olive oil, salt and pepper. Zest the lemon over the bowl, reserving the rest of the lemon for serving. Whisk until smooth.
  • Add the chicken thighs, toss to coat, then cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or up to 24. Remove chicken from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking.
  • If using a grill, clean and oil the grates. Set the grill to medium-high or heat a grill pan slicked with olive oil on the stovetop over medium-high. Grill the chicken for 6 to 8 minutes on each side (depending on the thickness of the thighs), covering the grill halfway through if necessary to retain heat, until cooked through.
  • Transfer the chicken thighs to a platter and squeeze half the lemon over them. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side if desired.

GRILLED PEPPERS WITH GARLIC YOGURT



Grilled Peppers with Garlic Yogurt image

This dish is very much in the Turkish spirit of mixing warm vegetables with cool, garlicky yogurt. Various types of peppers will work. This is a typical Turkish way to use grilled peppers. Turkish cuisine features cool, garlicky yogurt with warm vegetables. You can use a mix of peppers for this (in Turkey, longish, thin-skinned green peppers are the norm), and you don't have to stick to sweet peppers, though I prefer the sweet against the pungent yogurt. Roasted peppers will keep for a week in the refrigerator. They will continue to release liquid, which they can marinate in. Warm the peppers before serving, or serve them at room temperature with the topping.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 pounds mixed sweet peppers

Chopped fresh dill, parsley or mint

  • Arrange peppers on a platter or on individual plates. Spoon yogurt on top, drizzle on a little olive oil, garnish with chopped herbs if desired and serve.

GRILLED LEMON YOGURT CHICKEN



Grilled Lemon Yogurt Chicken image

There is something special about what yogurt does to chicken in its smoky, sizzling time over charcoal. It imparts a tangy flavor that lifts all the other flavorings. It tenderizes slightly, without turning the meat into mush. It grills to a caramelized dark brown without tasting burnt.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken

Time 3h50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

½ cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
½ lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon herbes de Provence
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (5 pound) whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
½ cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon harissa
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Whisk together the 1/2 cup yogurt, the juice from 1/2 lemon, lemon zest, olive oil, garlic, paprika, herbes de Provence, 1 teaspoon salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
  • Combine 1/2 cup yogurt, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and harissa in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Remove chicken from bag and transfer to a plate or baking sheet lined with paper towels. Pat chicken pieces dry with more paper towels. Season with pinch of salt.
  • Grill chicken, skin-side down, on the preheated grill for 2 minutes. Turn each piece and move to indirect heat.
  • Grill, turning often, with lid down until well-browned and meat is no longer pink in the center, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Serve chicken with the yogurt harissa mixture on the side.
