Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup 1% plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
  • 5 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (plus more for sprinkling)
  • 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs (8 pieces total (fat trimmed))

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano, turmeric, salt, and red pepper flakes.

    Grill the chicken about 5 to 7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through in the center of the thickest part of the chicken.
