Preparation Steps
- Rinse and pat dry your chicken pieces with a paper towel.
- In a large bowl, mix the yogurt, olive oil, minced 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 (1-2 hours recommended).
- Take your chicken out of the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to cooking.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the chicken to a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour any leftover marinade into the bottom of the pan. Bake for about 50 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Serve with tzatziki, fresh parsley, and chili pepper flakes if desired. This chicken is also excellent served over rice or with a side salad.
