Description
Succulent chicken thighs marinated in a flavorful blend of honey, garlic, and yogurt, perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1 cup plain yogurt (Greek or regular)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (like parsley or cilantro) for garnish
Instructions
- Start by combining yogurt, honey, minced garlic, olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Stir until everything is well-mixed.
- Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is generously coated.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the marinated chicken thighs skin-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the chicken for 35-40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes after baking before serving, and garnish with fresh herbs.
Notes
For dairy-free, use coconut yogurt and for vegan alternative, swap honey with maple syrup and chicken with tofu.
