5h
4 servings

These spicy, flavorful chicken thighs are marinated in a robust blend of Indian spices and yogurt, then baked in the oven for a smoky, tender result that rivals traditional tandoori.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 8 pieces chicken thighs
  • 1 cup plain greek yogurt
  • 1 Tbsp ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp garlic, grated
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 tsp chili powder
  • 3 tsp garam masala
  • 1.5 tsp ground cumin
  • 1.5 tsp ground coriander
  • 1.5 tsp turmeric powder
  • 2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Whisk together everything other than chicken to make the marinade.
  2. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
  3. Add the chicken to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
  4. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with foil topped with a wire rack.
  5. Remove chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and place on the prepared rack.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes, turning halfway through. Once the chicken is almost done, broil each side for a couple minutes. Total bake time should be 20-25 minutes
