Ingredients

0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt

4 cloves garlic, crushed

0.5 lemon, juiced

1 tbsp lemon zest

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp paprika

1 tsp herbes de Provence

1 tsp salt

1 tsp ground black pepper

5 lb whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces

1 pinch salt

0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp harissa

Directions

Gather all ingredients.

In a bowl, whisk together yogurt, garlic, lemon juice and zest, olive oil, paprika, herbes de Provence, salt, and black pepper.

Pour the mixture into a large resealable plastic bag. Add chicken; stir to coat. Squeeze out excess air and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grate.

Create the sauce: In a small bowl, mix together yogurt, lemon juice, and harissa until combined. Set aside.

Remove chicken from the marinade to a plate or baking sheet lined with paper towels. Discard marinade and pat chicken dry with more paper towels.

Season with a pinch of salt.

Grill chicken, skin-side down, on the preheated grill for 2 minutes. Turn over each piece and move to indirect heat.

Continue grilling, turning often, with the lid down until well browned and meat is no longer pink in the center, about 30-35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 74 °C.

Serve chicken with sauce on the side.
