This is a delicious recipe, so don&#39;t be put off trying it!)<\/span><div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div><span style=\"display: block;\">This garlicky, herby chicken is full-flavored and very tender, thanks to its piquant yogurt marinade. It&#39;s flexible, too &#8212; marinate the meat for as little as a couple of hours, or as long as overnight. And the chicken is just as good cooked under the broiler as it is on the grill (see Tip). You can serve this dish with almost anything, but it&#39;s especially nice with pita or other flatbread, and a big cucumber and tomato salad. And if you&#39;re looking to substitute chicken breasts for the thighs, you can &#8212; just watch them carefully; they&#39;re like to cook faster than the dark meat.<\/span><\/div>\n<div
