Yogurt Marinated Chicken Thighs (Tender and Fragrant)
How to prepare chicken that literally melts in your mouth? The acidity of the yogurt breaks down the meat fibers in 30 mins, ensuring super soft thighs, scented with rosemary and a fabulous crust.
Ingredients
- 4 large Chicken Thighs or Drumsticks, skin optional
- 5.3 oz Plain Greek Yogurt, unsweetened
- 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
- 1 sprig Fresh Rosemary, needles finely chopped
- 2 Garlic Cloves, crushed
- Salt and Black Pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, olive oil, mustard, crushed garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Submerge the chicken pieces in the marinade, ensuring all surfaces are evenly coated.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, or overnight for optimal results.
Preheat the cooking appliance to 385°F. Remove the chicken from the marinade and wipe off any excess.
Arrange the chicken in a single layer. Cook for 30-35 minutes, turning the pieces halfway through the cooking time until a crust forms and the chicken is cooked through.
