Whole-Herb Flavor Meets Flame-Grilled Simplicity
There’s something deeply satisfying about nailing a simple recipe that hits all the right notes: juicy, golden-brown flame-grilled chicken, a tangy herbaceous marinade, and zero guesswork. With the richness of Greek yogurt, a splash of olive oil, and the bold complexity of our Table 40 Italian herb blend, this chicken thigh recipe is weeknight easy — and weekend-worthy.
Crafted from a robust mix of whole herbs and rich tomato powder, Table 40 Seasoning delivers the savory backbone of this marinade. Layer in a pinch of Sergio’s Seasoning for extra punch, and you’ve got flavor that’s unmistakably Golden Steer — just without the white tablecloths.
Ingredients:
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs (butterflied)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Table 40 Seasoning
- Sergio’s Seasoning (to taste, for a subtle savory finish)
- Optional: lemon wedges and chopped parsley for serving
Directions:
- Butterfly the chicken thighs by slicing them open lengthwise so they lay flat and cook evenly on the grill.
- In a large bowl, combine yogurt, olive oil, Table 40 Seasoning, and a light sprinkle of Sergio’s Seasoning. Stir well to form a thick, creamy marinade.
- Add the butterflied chicken to the marinade and mix until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
- Preheat your grill over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Remove chicken from the marinade and let excess drip off. Place directly on the hot grill and cook for 4–5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through (internal temp should reach 165°F).
- Let rest for a few minutes, then slice or serve whole with lemon wedges and parsley, if desired.
Serving Tips

Batch It: Double the marinade and prep chicken in advance for weekday grilling with zero stress.
What makes Table 40 Seasoning stand out?
Table 40 is more than an herb blend — it’s a nod to the swagger and sophistication of our iconic steakhouse roots. With whole-leaf herbs, rich tomato powder, and just the right touch of warmth, it elevates without overpowering. Whether you're grilling vegetables, roasting meats, or seasoning pasta, Table 40 brings out the best in everything.
Why use yogurt in a marinade?
Yogurt is a natural tenderizer. Its acidity gently breaks down the chicken, while the creaminess helps the Table 40 herbs cling and soak in. The result? Chicken that’s juicy inside and perfectly charred on the outside.
Can I use Table 40 and Sergio’s together?
Absolutely. Sergio’s Seasoning adds a subtle depth and saltiness that enhances Table 40’s herb-forward profile. Together, they balance freshness with savory intensity — no additional salt needed.
