Scale

  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • Juice of ½ a lemon
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • 3 cloves garlic (pressed)
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. In a large 9×13″ baking dish, add the chicken thighs.

  3. Mix everything together well, ensuring each piece of chicken is thoroughly coated.
  4. Arrange the coated chicken in a single layer in the dish.
  5. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and marinate in the fridge for up to 12 hours (or at least 5 minutes).
