Adam Liaw’s chicken in Greek yoghurt
Chicken and turmeric are a classic combination throughout Asia, but here they meet the Greek flavours of garlic, oregano and yoghurt.
Ingredients
6 chicken thigh fillets
salt and black pepper, to season
½ tsp turmeric powder
juice and grated zest of 1 lemon
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp dried Greek oregano
1¼ cups thick yoghurt
1 tbsp olive oil, plus extra to drizzle
¼ tsp honey
1 tbsp finely shredded parsley
Method
Step 1
Season the chicken thighs in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper, then mix with the turmeric, lemon juice, the garlic, half the oregano, ¼ cup of yoghurt and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Set aside to marinade for 30 minutes.
Step 2
Combine the remaining yoghurt with the lemon zest, honey and parsley, and season well with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Heat a barbecue grill over high heat and grill the chicken for about 3 minutes a side until cooked through. Rest well. Spread the yoghurt mix on a serving plate and place the chicken on top. Scatter with the remaining oregano, drizzle with a little olive oil, season one last time with salt and pepper, then serve.
