Yogurt Paprika Chicken with Lemon

By charlotteh371

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon sweet paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 large cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 2 pounds bone-in chicken thighs and drumsticks
• 2 lemons, halved
• Chopped fresh cilantrio, for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine yogurt, ginger, paprika, cumin, garlic, lemon juice and salt. Toss chicken in marinade, generously coating all sides of meat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

2. Preheat oven to 400°F. Remove chicken from refrigerator and arrange in a single layer in a roasting pan. Nestle lemon halves among chicken pieces. Roast until chicken registers 165°F on an instant-read thermometer, about 30 minutes.

3. Finish cooking chicken 6 inches under broiler until just beginning to blacken in places, 3 to 5 minutes. Garnish with a generous sprinkle of chopped cilantro. Serve with roasted lemons on the side to squeeze over chicken.
