Instructions
0 Add the chicken to a bowl with the oil, yogurt, salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Massage well. Let the chicken sit and marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight. You can bake it right away but it will be so much more tender if you let it marinate for at least 1 hour. 6 When the chicken has marinated, preheat the oven to 400F (200C). 1 Remove from the fridge and transfer the chicken and juices to an oven-safe baking dish. 2 Push the chicken to the side with a spoon and add some water or broth and move the chicken around so that the juices are distributed evenly. 3 Bake uncovered for 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the size of the thighs, or until the juices run clear and a meat thermometer measures at least 165F. To crisp up the skin further you can broil the chicken on top for 1 to 2 minutes but keep a very close eye on it. Enjoy on salad, mashed potatoes, on wraps, with rice, or with any side you like.View original recipe
