# Steps:
01 -
Dry the chicken pieces thoroughly with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Massage the mixture to ensure every piece is evenly coated and glossy.
02 -
Prepare the grill or grill pan on medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grates to prevent sticking. Allow the grill to heat for approximately five minutes to develop strong grilling marks.
03 -
Optional: Thread chicken pieces onto skewers leaving space between each piece to promote even cooking. Place the chicken on the hot grill. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes to form grill marks, then turn. Continue grilling for 5-6 minutes more, turning as needed, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 74°C and has a golden color.
04 -
While the chicken grills, combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Whisk until fully smooth. Adjust seasoning as desired for added tang or saltiness.
05 -
Transfer grilled chicken to a plate and let rest for three minutes to allow juices to redistribute. Serve warm, accompanied by the creamy garlic sauce either on the side or drizzled on top. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for brightness and color.
# Notes:
01 -
Marinate the chicken up to 24 hours ahead to intensify flavor. Always allow chicken to rest post-grilling for maximum juiciness.
