You’ll also see how to make a delicious, quick sauce with some hot sauce and the rest of your Greek yogurt. Super quick, super easy! This chicken is terrific served hot, but also great served cold on a salad or for a picnic. So throw on a few extra pieces! Get the recipe for Chef John's Grilled Lemon Yogurt Chicken.

I TRIED THIS RECIPE IT WAS VERY GOOD MY DAUGHTER LOVED IT BUT USE THAWED CHICKEN I JABBED MY CHICKEN WITH A FORK DOZENS OF TIME SO THE HERBS AND SPICES SOAKED INTO THE HOLES. IF YOU DO NOT DO THIS, THE HERBS AND SPICES WILL REMAIN ON THE SKIN AND AS YOU KNOW ONCE THE SKIN IS GONE THE IT JUST TASTE LIKE REGULAR CHICKEN, BUT IT WAS DELICIOUS.

The chicken was good but the extra sauce was very sour and not so good

Good tips. The yogurt marinade should keep the chicken moist.

This was a HUGE hit! So tender and juicy, and such a fresh, bright flavor. I couldn't find my Herbes de Provence and the local grocery didn't carry it. Instead I used a good pinch each of rosemary, tarragon, thyme, mint and dried rose petals (I know that last was a reach, but I was fresh out of dried lavendar flowers, and that was the best I could do!). I served it with the round lemon slices as suggested and it was lovely. I served it with an orzo/spinach/feta dish to great results.
