Marinate boneless chicken thighs in a mixture of lime juice, chopped garlic, olive oil, fresh oregano, salt, and pepper for 4 to 6 hours.

Prepare the grill using a kamado grill with both indirect and direct heat setup.

Add charcoal and starters to the grill, then close the lid and open the top and bottom vents to heat it up.

Prepare the white sauce by mixing Greek yogurt and mayonnaise in equal parts, adding white wine vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper, adjusting with lime or lemon juice if desired.

After marinating, remove the chicken from the marinade, season with salt, pepper, and ground coriander.

Grill the chicken on medium direct heat with the skin side down for 3 to 4 minutes, then flip and grill on indirect heat until the skin is the desired color.

In a pot, melt butter and add turmeric, ground cumin, and basmati rice, roasting on low heat until the rice gets a yellow color.

Add chicken stock to the rice, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer, seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

While the rice cooks, chop fresh cucumber and tomatoes for serving.

Once the chicken is grilled, chop it into pieces.

Plate the dish starting with the turmeric rice, add fresh cucumber and tomatoes, top with grilled chicken, and drizzle with white sauce and hot sauce.

Serve with pita bread.
