Chicken thighs in kefir - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use Greek yogurt instead of kefir in the marinade?

Yes, Greek yogurt is a great substitute for kefir. It will provide a similar tangy flavor and help tenderize the chicken. Just make sure it's plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt.

How long can I store leftover grilled chicken thighs?

Leftover grilled chicken thighs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

Can I bake these chicken thighs in the oven if I don't have a grill?

Absolutely! Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for about 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through and the juices run clear.

Can I freeze the marinated chicken thighs?

Yes, you can freeze the chicken thighs in the marinade. Place them in a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for up to 2-3 months. Thaw completely in the refrigerator before grilling.

What can I serve with these chicken thighs besides lettuce and fresh vegetables?

These chicken thighs pair well with a variety of sides, such as roasted potatoes, rice pilaf, couscous, or a simple salad. Corn on the cob is also a delicious option.

Is there a vegetarian alternative to this recipe?

While this recipe is specifically for chicken thighs, you could adapt the marinade for grilling halloumi cheese or thick slices of portobello mushrooms for a vegetarian option. Marinate them as you would the chicken and grill until tender and slightly charred.
