Marinade

For Grilling

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the plain yogurt, minced garlic, grated ginger, lemon juice, ground cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Add Chicken

    Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for best flavor.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 7-10 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden.

  3. 5

    Flip and Cook

    Flip the chicken thighs and grill for another 7-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  4. 6

    Rest the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes.

  5. 7

    Serve

    Serve the grilled chicken with lemon wedges and sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish.
