## Ingredients
- 4 lbs chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on
- 1.5 cups plain greek yogurt
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1.5 tsp smoked paprika

## Cooking instructions
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
2. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, coating them thoroughly; cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or up to 12 hours. (about 240 min)
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade, shaking off excess, and place skin-side down on the grill grates. (400°F)
