Ingredients
- 4 Bone-In Skin-On Chicken Thighs
- 1 Cup Plain Greek Yogurt
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 3 Cloves Garlic Minced
- 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 1 Teaspoon Dried Oregano
- 1 Teaspoon Paprika
- 1 Teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Prepare the Marinade
- In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.
Marinate the Chicken
- Add the chicken thighs to the bowl, ensuring they are well coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for more flavor. (or overnight)
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Bake the Chicken
- Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is crispy and golden brown.
Rest & Serve
- Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
✅ Marinate for longer to enhance the flavor and tenderness.
✅ Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is fully cooked.
✅ For extra crispiness, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking.
