This yogurt sauce for chicken is perfect on grilled chicken or any kind of chicken!
And in Oregon we grill in the rain too so whether you are enjoying sunshine or rain you’re going to want to try this Grilled Chicken with Yogurt Sauce. This chicken has some great flavor and some tang to it thanks to the lemon juice and yogurt. I marinaded the chicken in a mixture of yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, smoked paprika and rosemary for several hours. Try to do it for at least 3 hours if possible.
How to Make Yogurt Sauce for Chicken
Then heat up your grill and grill over medium high heat until chicken is browned and cooked through, about 20-30 minutes. Turn several times. Your internal temperature should be 165 degrees F.
While the chicken is cooking mix up the yogurt sauce with Greek yogurt, more lemon juice, chili garlic sauce, cumin and salt and pepper. I like to garnish the chicken with some fresh parsley and then slice it and drizzle the yogurt sauce all over the top!
We love to combine this with some roasted vegetables done on the grill or in the oven and some yummy potatoes. It’s a easy and delicious go to meal for summertime or anytime.
