Equipment
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- instant read meat thermometer
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.
- Add the chicken thighs to the bowl, ensuring they are well coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or rice.
Notes
- Marinade time = flavor booster. Go for at least 30 minutes; 4 hours if you’ve got the time.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment (or foil) for easy cleanup.
- Rest the chicken a few minutes before serving so juices stay in. Yep, it matters.
