Begin by marinating the chicken thighs in a mixture of 1/4 cup olive oil, the juice of 2 lemons, 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh thyme, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off.
Grill the chicken thighs for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the spicy garlic yogurt sauce by mixing 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of sriracha, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve the grilled chicken on a platter, drizzled with the spicy garlic yogurt sauce and garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
