  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice (about 1/4 cup), lemon zest, salt and pepper.
  • Place chicken in the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • To make the dipping sauce, in a medium bowl, whisk together yogurt, garlic, Dijon mustard, lemon juice and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Prepare grill for direct grilling over medium-high heat.
  • Brush and oil the grill grate.
