Grilled Lemon Yogurt Chicken
Grilled lemon yogurt chicken is a sweet tangy recipe that combines together lemon with yogurt that keeps the meat tender and juicy.
- 1/2 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 lemon (juiced)
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic (crushed)
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tsp herbs de Provence
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 5 pound whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
- 1/2 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp harissa
- 1 pinch salt
- Whisk together the 1/2 cup yogurt, the juice from 1/2 lemon, lemon zest, olive oil, garlic, paprika, herbs 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.
