Ingredients

3-5 lbs boneless chicken thighs

Marinade

2 tbs fresh grated turmeric
1 tbs fresh grated ginger
2 cloves garlic minced
⅓ cup olive oil
juice of one lemon
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 tbs apple cider vinegar
2 cups plain Greek yogurt
fresh ground pepper to taste

Instructions

Mix all the marinade ingredients together, then pour over the boneless chicken thighs. Place the chicken thighs in refrigerator and marinate for a minimum of 3 hours, overnight is better.
Preheat grill to 275-300 degrees. Place the chicken thighs on grill, and cook for an hour- 1 ½ hours, flip and cook for another ½ hour. Times will vary widely, based on the actual temperature of grill and size of the chicken thighs. Use your best judgement.

Notes

Nutrition data based on 4 pounds of chicken, estimate of ½ the marinade remaining on chicken and Greek yogurt info from whole milk yogurt.

Note on cooking time: these were cooked on a Big Green Egg at low temperature, which basically smokes them. If cooking on a gas grill or charcoal bricket grill simply cook them as low as you feel comfortable, but the time will be much less than 2 hours.
