Instructions
- Place the chicken thighs on a cutting board, cover with plastic wrap, and gently tenderize them using a meat tenderizer.
- In a large bowl or a sealable plastic bag, combine the chicken thighs with the remaining marinade ingredients. Mix well to combine. Ensure the chicken thighs are well coated with the marinade.
- Cover the bowl or seal the bag and place the chicken in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 hours to marinate. For the best results, marinate the chicken overnight.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken thighs for about 8 to 10 minutes on each side, or until they are thoroughly cooked through and nicely charred (but not burnt).
- While the chicken is cooking, make the yogurt garlic sauce by combining all the sauce ingredients in a bowl.
- Once the chicken has cooked, slice and serve with the creamy sauce and garnish with chopped chives.
