Grilled Chicken Thighs.

Here are the recipes for two marinades to use with this technique. Both are for 2 Lb of chicken thighs.
Yogurt Marinade (shown in the video)
4 oz plain yogurt (1/2 cup)
11 g salt (4 tsp Diamond Crystal Kosher or 2 tsp table salt)
1 garlic clove grated on a microplane zester (or turned into a paste using some other way)
1 tsp Dijon mustard
a few grinds of black pepper
Mix everything together in a large bowl and add the chicken.
Pomegranate Soy Marinade
Don’t let the exotic ingredients in this marinade fool you. The final result is deeply savory and not really exotic tasting. Any American 5 year old would eat it without questioning what’s on this thicken. Pomegranate molasses is simply very concentrated pomegranate juice. Zaatar is a blend of dry mint, thyme, sumac, and sesame seeds. It’s slightly tart but not spicy at all, so don’t be afraid to use a good bit. You can buy both pomegranate molasses and zaatar at Middle Easter stores and most Whole Foods Markets.
1 tsp soy sauce (ideally Japanese style)
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 garlic clove grated on a microplane zester (or turned into a paste using some other way)
1 tsp pomegranate molasses (sold at most Whole Foods)
3 Tbsp olive oil
2 tsp Zaatar spice blend (optional)
-Whisk the soy sauce, mustard, garlic, and pomegranate molasses together in a bowl until well blended. Slowly drizzle in the oil while whisking constantly. Stir in zaatar if using.
-Salt and pepper the chicken on all sides, then add to the marinade.
Both marinades need at least 4 hours, but can be applied up to 2 days ahead. The ideal time is 8 hours, but do what’s most convenient. Wipe off completely before grilling the chicken. Zaatar can be left on, but all the moisture needs to be dried off.

Best cooking instruction on YouTube!! Thank you Helen!!
Chef Helen looked even more glowing than usual in this video. 🤩
#realcomment Hi Helen, chicken thighs have long been my favorite piece as well, versatile and delicious. Interested to try this while snowed in the next couple days, but only have lemon yogurt in the fridge – any thoughts on how the extra sugars might mess up your marinade technique by not using plain yogurt? Thanks….. stay warm back there!
To call meat or fish just a "proten" is very gross. Sorry but its very unappetizing.
#realcomment Helen, I have thrice used this marinade on chicken thighs before broiling them, and they have been delicious each and every time. Might you have another brilliant idea on how to achieve the taste of grilled goat meat without a grill? I live in Maine where the winters are long and there is more snow than people, so grilling this delicacy over a wood or charcoal fire is not always possible. Please keep up the helpful videos!
My dear lady, what would you do differently if baking these thighs?..
THANK YOU❤️❤️
Helen u are my favorite! I learned all cooking from u ! I'm 19 and getting married next month! 🙂
Oh Boy,
I can not wait to try this.
What about frozen chicken. I am on a strict budget and try to buy when things are on sale. How would you recommend preparing frozen chicken pieces?
Thanks for the video.
Cannot wait!
That's where I've gone wrong with my chicken tandoori! The yogurt marinade scorches.
