Ingredients
- ¼ cup full-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 2 teaspoons ground paprika
- ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon ground coriander
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼- ½ teaspoon chili flakes depending on desired spice level
- 1½ pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- chopped fresh cilantro optional, for serving
- Lime wedges optional, for serving
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir together yogurt, olive oil, and all of the spices.
- Rub the yogurt marinade over the chicken thighs and place them in a bowl. Cover and leave to marinate for a minimum of 2 hours, or up to overnight.
- Once well-marinated, preheat oven to 425°F. Spread the marinated chicken thighs skin side up in an 8x8-inch parchment- or foil-lined pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the juices run clear and the internal temperature of the chicken is 165°F.
- If you would like to crisp up your chicken even further, turn on the broiler and broil the chicken for 1-2 minutes, or until it has reached desired crispiness.
- Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before enjoying sprinkled with cilantro and fresh lime juice.
