     Title: Grilled Za'atar Chicken w/Garlic Yogurt & Cilantro
Categories: Poultry, Dairy, Herbs
     Yield: 5 servings

     6 cl Garlic; fine grated, pressed
          - or minced
     2    Lemons; zested
     1 c  Plain whole-milk yogurt
   1/4 c  Chopped fresh cilantro; more
          - sprigs for garnish
     3 tb Extra-virgin olive oil; more
          - for serving
 1 1/2 tb Za'atar; more for serving
     1 tb Chopped fresh oregano or
          - marjoram; more sprigs for
          - garnish
 1 3/4 ts Salt
   1/4 ts Fresh ground black pepper
 2 1/4 lb Boned, skinned chicken
          - thighs

 In a large bowl or container, stir together 5 of the
 grated garlic cloves, half the lemon zest, 1/3 cup
 yogurt, the cilantro, oil, za’atar, oregano or marjoram,
 salt and black pepper. Add chicken and toss until well
 coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or
 overnight.

 When ready to cook, light the grill to medium or heat
 your broiler with the rack 3 inches from the heat
 source. Remove chicken from bowl, shaking off any excess
 marinade, and grill or broil on one side until charred
 in spots, 5 to 8 minutes. Flip the chicken and grill or
 broil for another 5 to 8 minutes, until just cooked
 through.

 While the chicken is cooking, place remaining 2/3 cup
 yogurt in a small bowl. Stir in the reserve grated
 garlic clove and lemon zest, and season to taste with
 salt and pepper. Cut one zested lemon in half and set
 aside for serving (save the other zested lemon for
 another use).

 To serve, place chicken on a serving platter and drizzle
 with olive oil and a large squeeze of the zested lemon.
 Top with cilantro and oregano or marjoram sprigs and
 serve with yogurt sauce.

 TIP: If you’re broiling instead of grilling, you can
 line your sheet pan with foil for easier clean up. Don’t
 use parchment paper, it may burn.
