Serves: 4Prep: 15 minCook: 25 min

Ingredients

  • 900g (2 lb) boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp ground coriander

  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and all spices in a large bowl to create the marinade over medium heat until heated through, about 5 min.
  2. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, coating them thoroughly; cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours for best results.
  3. Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking sheet with foil.
  4. Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on the baking sheet in a single layer until ready to serve.
  5. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges.
  6. Remove from the oven, let rest for 5 minutes, then thinly slice the chicken before serving.
