Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 10 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 lemons (juiced)
  • 1 cup fresh dill (chopped)
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp allspice
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground green cardamom
  • Kosher salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Make the dill Greek yogurt sauce by blending minced garlic, chopped dill, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and optional cayenne pepper in a food processor until smooth. Refrigerate.
  2. In a small bowl, mix minced garlic with spices and olive oil. Rub the mixture generously on the chicken thighs.
  3. In a large dish, combine sliced onions, lemon juice, remaining olive oil; place seasoned chicken on top and toss gently to coat.
  4. Marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight for deeper flavor.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill marinated chicken for about 5 minutes on each side until cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
  6. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving with the dill yogurt sauce.
