Directions

Prep 10 minCook 20 min

1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, chopped dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper to make the marinade.
2
Add the chicken thighs and turn to coat thoroughly. Let sit for at least 10 minutes while you heat the grill (or marinate longer for more flavor).
3
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grates well to prevent sticking.
4
Grill the chicken, covered, until nicely charred and cooked through, about 8–10 minutes per side, or until an instant-read thermometer in the thickest part registers 165°F.
5
Transfer to a plate and rest for 5 minutes before serving.
