👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Pat dry the chicken thighs with a paper towel if needed. Set aside.
2. 2To a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, dill, shallots, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, pepper, paprika, and dried oregano. Add the chicken and toss well to coat. Cover and let marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight.

Keep the lid of the grill closed between flipping.
