"This tangy lemon-yogurt chicken is grilled to caramelized perfection
over a charcoal grill."
Prep Time: 15 Min
Cook Time: 35 Min
Ready In: 3 Hours 50 Min
Servings: 6

1/2 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 Tbsp lemon zest
1 Tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 Tbsp paprika
1 tsp herbes de Provence
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 (5 lb) whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
1/2 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp harissa
1 pinch salt

1. Whisk together the 1/2 cup yogurt, the juice from 1/2 lemon,
lemon zest, olive oil, garlic, paprika, herbes de Provence, 1 teaspoon
salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Pour into a resealable plastic bag.
Add chicken, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal
the bag. Marinate in refrigerator for at least 3 hours.

2. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the
grate.

3. Combine 1/2 cup yogurt, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and harissa in a
small bowl. Set aside.

4. Remove chicken from bag and transfer to a plate or baking sheet lined
with paper towels. Pat chicken pieces dry with more paper towels. Season
with pinch of salt.

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

6. Grill, turning often, with lid down until well-browned and meat is no
longer pink in the center, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer
inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read
180 degrees F (82 degrees C).

7. Serve chicken with the yogurt harissa mixture on the side.
