Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1.25 kg / 2.5 lb drumsticks and chicken thighs (, bone in skin on (Note 1))
  • 6 garlic cloves (, minced (~ 2 tbsp))
  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar ((or red wine or apple cider vinegar))
  • 1/2 cup / 125 ml lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 3/4 cup Greek yogurt ((I use Farmers Union))
  • 1 1/2 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Plain Greek yogurt or Tzatziki
  • Fresh oregano leaves ((optional))

Instruction

  • Mix Marinade ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Add chicken and coat well. Marinade for 24 hours (3 hours minimum).
  • Preheat oven to 180C.350F.
  • Line a tray with foil (trust me), place rack on tray (optional).
  • Place chicken on rack (reserve marinade), skin side up. Bake 30 minutes,
  • Remove from oven. Brush with marinade - do not flip.
  • Return to oven for 20 minutes or until golden and a bit crispy. Give it a spray of olive oil just before it's done if you want an extra crispy, shiny coat.
  • Rest for a few minutes before serving. Juicy and tasty enough to serve plain but extra great with tzatziki or even some plain yogurt.
