Petunjuk

Place yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, onion powder, cumin, oregano, paprika, parsley, and salt and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk until fully combined.

Place chicken thighs in the bowl and make sure that they are fully submerged in the marinade.

Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight for up to 12 hours.

When you are ready to cook, remove the chicken from the marinade onto a plate, making sure to scrape off any excess marinade. Season chicken pieces lightly with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper on each side. Discard the marinade.

To Cook on the Grill:

Preheat a gas grill to medium-high heat (450 degrees F).

Clean grill grates and generously brush with vegetable oil.

Grill chicken thighs for 8-10 minutes, turning once until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees when a thermometer is inserted in the thickest part of the meat.

Transfer the now cooked chicken onto a plate, cover with aluminum foil and let it rest for 5-7 minutes before serving.
