The most significantly juicy and tender chicken you will ever try. Tenderized with Greek yogurt and flavored with lots of lemon and garlic! You cannot miss with this one!

Equipment

Ingredients

8 bone in skin on chicken thighs
1 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup olive oil
5 cloves garlic
1 large lemon, juiced
2 tsp salt
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp paprika
black pepper to taste

Optional Dip/Topping:

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Rinse and pat dry your chicken pieces with a paper towel.
In a large bowl, mix the yogurt, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice and spices. Add the chicken to the bowl and coat everything well. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for a minimum of half an hour (I recommend 1-2 hours).
Take your meat out 30 minutes prior to putting it in the oven.
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Transfer the chicken to a 9x13" baking dish. Take the leftover marinade and add it to the bottom of the pan. Top with the last two pieces of chicken. Bake for about 50 minutes or until golden brown. Make sure internal temperature of chicken reaches 165°F. Let it rest out of the oven for 5 minutes and then serve.

Notes

You can use chicken breasts or boneless skinless thighs in lieu of the above bone in skin on. The only change you will make is to lessen the bake time by 20 minutes or so.
