Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup plain probiotic yogurt, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper, stirring well to create the marinade.
  2. Step 2: Add 4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on) to the marinade, turning to coat evenly, and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to imbibe the flavors.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off, and place on the grill skin-side down.
  4. Step 4: Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, turning once, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the skin is crisp and golden.
  5. Step 5: Transfer chicken to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute and flavors to settle.
