GRILLED CHICKEN WITH YOGURT MARINADE
Boneless skinless chicken thighs are a reliable choice when it comes to grilling chicken. They're thinner than breasts, so they cook more evenly, and the higher fat content makes them difficult to overcook. In this recipe inspired by Turkish chicken kebabs, a yogurt and herb marinade makes them supremely tender and helps them brown beautifully on the grill. While some citrus-heavy marinades begin to break down chicken after just a few hours, this marinade uses only the zest, saving the juice for a quick squeeze before serving. The result is incredibly tender chicken you can prep up to a day in advance. Oregano and thyme work well together here, but feel free to play around with herbs and use what you have on hand, or substitute dried herbs in a pinch.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, garlic, oregano, thyme, olive oil, salt and pepper. Zest the lemon over the bowl, reserving the rest of the lemon for serving. Whisk until smooth.
- Add the chicken thighs, toss to coat, then cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or up to 24. Remove chicken from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking.
- If using a grill, clean and oil the grates. Set the grill to medium-high or heat a grill pan slicked with olive oil on the stovetop over medium-high. Grill the chicken for 6 to 8 minutes on each side (depending on the thickness of the thighs), covering the grill halfway through if necessary to retain heat, until cooked through.
- Transfer the chicken thighs to a platter and squeeze half the lemon over them. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side if desired.
ZESTY BROILED CHICKEN THIGHS
Sometimes, I just don't want to grill in the heat, outside. Using the broiler for these boneless, skinless chicken thighs only takes a few minutes, inside my air-conditioned kitchen, and gives the chicken a lovely char. We like Mexican flavors, so these can be sliced and used as fajitas, or as a soft chicken taco. I used them whole, as a main dish, to go along with Southwestern Veggie Skillet, on the Allrecipes site, and Mexican rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro or flat-leaf parsley.

Steps:
- Combine onion, lime juice, orange juice, garlic, avocado oil, coriander, cumin, Mexican oregano, chipotle chile powder, and smoked paprika in the bowl of a blender or food processor. Pulse several times to mix, then puree for 1 minute, until there are no visible pieces.
- Place marinade in a 1-gallon resealable bag and add chicken thighs. Squeeze out most of the air and seal. Gently squeeze contents of the bag until the chicken pieces are coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 3 hours.
- Set an oven rack about 4 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Place marinated chicken thighs on a broiler pan.
- Broil until chicken thighs start to char, about 8 minutes. Flip and continue broiling until the second side is lightly charred, about 7 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken thigh should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Remove chicken pieces to a serving platter.

If chicken skin starts to burn, move pan to a lower rack to finish cooking.
- Transfer chicken to a serving platter, reserving pan juices. Whisk lemon juice, 1/4 cup pan juices, remaining 1 cup yogurt, and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt in a medium bowl. If sauce is too thick, add more pan juices. Serve sauce alongside chicken.
- Do Ahead
- Chicken can marinate up to 1 day before cooking. Keep chilled.
BROILED CHICKEN THIGHS IN YOGURT
In this Middle Eastern-style recipe, plain yogurt plays a double role: First it tenderizes the chicken, then it helps thicken and enrich the sauce. During the summer months, stoke up your barbecue and grill the chicken outdoors. The chicken thighs and coriander sauce can be served hot or at room temperature. The sauce can be made up to 24 hours ahead of time, kept covered in the fridge, but reheat it gently so it doesn't boil and separate. The chicken can marinate up to 24 hours, but broil it at the last minute. Time does not include marination.

Steps:
- PREPARE THE CHICKEN: Put the chicken thighs in a large bowl and pour the plain yogurt over the top. Season the yogurt with salt and pepper.
- Turn the chicken thighs with your hands until the chicken is well coated with yogurt, then cover the bowl tightly and set aside to marinate in the refrigerator 3-4 hours.
- Heat the broiler. Brush the rack in the broiler pan with oil. Lift the pieces of chicken out of the bowl and with metal spatula, scrape off the yogurt, discarding it.
- Dry the chicken pieces with paper towels and arrange them on the broiler rack.
- Broil the thighs 3-4 inches from the heat until the tops are very brown, about 8-10 minutes. Turn the pieces over.
- Continue broiling until the pieces are very brown and no pink juice runs out when they are pierced with a 2-pronged fork, 7-10 minutes longer. While the chicken is cooking, make the sauce.
- CORIANDER SAUCE: Chop the onion and finely chop the garlic. Heat the oil in a saucepan and sauté the onion until soft and starting to brown. Add the ground coriander and garlic and continue cooking over low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. Puree the onion mixture with yogurt in a food processor. Add the fresh coriander (cilantro) and puree just until it is chopped.
- Return to the saucepan. Pour in the sour cream, then season with salt and pepper. Heat the sauce, stirring constantly. Taste for seasoning and keep warm. (When heating a sauce that contains sour cream or yogurt, do not let it boil or it will separate.).
- To serve, arrange 2 chicken thighs on each warmed plate and spoon the sauce around them. A nice tabouleh salad would go perfectly with this dish and I recommend Tabouleh Recipe #91403.

YOGURT-MARINATED GRILLED CHICKEN SHAWARMA
A classic Middle Eastern street food, chicken shawarma is made with large quantities of marinated chicken that are stacked in layers on a spit and slow roasted for hours. This scaled-back home version relies on skewers and a grill for a similar moist and flavorful effect. First, the chicken is marinated in generously spiced yogurt, which tenderizes the meat while infusing it with seasoning. Then the skewers are grilled quickly over direct heat to seal in the juices before being moved to indirect heat, where the meat is gently cooked through. Thinly sliced using a long sharp knife, chicken shawarma is usually served as a wrap with greens, tomatoes, garlicky creamy toum--and of course, fries!

Steps:
- For the chicken shawarma: Combine the yogurt, olive oil, garlic and lemon juice in a large bowl. Add the cumin, coriander, paprika, onion powder, allspice, cardamom, cinnamon, turmeric and 2 teaspoons salt and mix to combine.
- Add the chicken and toss to make sure every piece is fully coated and smothered in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 8 hours. Soak 3 wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes.
- For the toum: Meanwhile, slice the garlic cloves in half and remove any green sprouts. Place the garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor and blend until it becomes a paste, scraping down the bowl as needed.
- With the food processor running, pour in 1/2 cup of the oil in a very thin stream; this should take about 2 minutes. Stop to scrape down the bowl. Turn on the processor again and stream in the lemon juice, then stream in another 1/2 cup of the oil very slowly. Add 1 tablespoon of the ice water and pulse to combine. Add another 1/2 cup of the oil, then the remaining 1 tablespoon ice water. Then add the remaining 1/4 to 1/2 cup oil until creamy and fully emulsified. The whole process should take about 20 minutes. The toum will keep, in an airtight container in the refrigerator, for up to 2 months. Makes about 2 cups.
- Preheat an outdoor grill to medium high and set it up for both direct and indirect heat. (For a gas grill, leave one or two burners on low or off; for a charcoal grill, bank the coals on one side of the grill.)
- For serving: Cut the onion in half and place one half cut-side down on a cutting board. Insert the wooden skewers in the onion, blunt side in. The skewers should be spaced apart equally from each other to form a triangle.
- Thread the pieces of marinated chicken onto all 3 skewers on top of each other with no space between them. When all the chicken pieces are threaded, top the skewers with the other half of the onion.
- Place the shawarma on the direct-heat side of the grill and cook, rotating every 3 to 4 minutes using a pair of sturdy tongs, until you achieve nice grill marks, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Move the shawarma to the indirect heat side of the grill, cover and cook, turning occasionally so it cooks evenly on all sides, until the meat feels firm to the touch and the internal temperature reaches 160°F, 30 to 40 minutes.
- Transfer the shawarma to a cutting board. Cover the with a piece of aluminum foil and let it rest for 5 minutes. Uncover and hold the shawarma upright on a sturdy cutting board. Cut the chicken into strips from the top to the bottom of the stack using a sharp knife.
- Spread a lavash all over with toum. Place some lettuce, onions with sumac, tomatoes and pickles on the lavash and add the sliced shawarma and some French fries. Wrap tightly and serve.

ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH GARLICKY CUCUMBER YOGURT
In this simple, homey weeknight dinner, boneless chicken thighs are tossed with garlic, herbs and red-pepper flakes, then roasted along with lemon wedges in the pan. As the lemons brown, their acids mellow, becoming softer and sweeter. When squeezed over the chicken for serving, they offer a rounded tang that's complemented by dollops of cucumber-flecked yogurt and chopped fresh mint. The combination of cucumbers and yogurt is a classic across many cultures, from Indian raita to Persian mast-o khiar to Greek tzatziki and beyond. For this recipe, be sure to use thick Greek-style or other strained yogurt (such as labneh) or substitute sour cream. Thinner yogurt will make the sauce runny. Serve this over rice or with flatbread to catch the juices and the cucumber yogurt.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Season chicken generously with the salt and pepper. In a large bowl, combine 3 of the grated garlic cloves, thyme or oregano, red-pepper flakes and olive oil. Add chicken and lemon wedges, and toss until well coated. (If you want to work ahead, you can refrigerate the chicken for up to 12 hours before roasting.)
- Arrange chicken and lemons on a sheet pan in a single layer. Drizzle with a little more oil and roast until chicken is cooked through, 27 to 35 minutes. If you'd like more color on your chicken, run the pan under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes until chicken is lightly charred in places.
- As the chicken roasts, stir together yogurt, grated cucumber and remaining minced garlic clove in a small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and keep in refrigerator until ready to serve.
- To serve, squeeze roasted lemon wedges all over chicken, and sprinkle with mint and more red-pepper flakes, if you like. Serve chicken accompanied by cucumber-yogurt sauce and a drizzle of olive oil over everything.
