6 servings

Ingredients

½ cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
½ lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon herbes de Provence
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (5 pound) whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
½ cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon harissa
1 pinch salt

Instructions

Step 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.

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

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

Step 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.

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

Step 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 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

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