Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 teaspoon dried mint
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 large orange, juiced
2 pounds chicken thighs

Steps:

  • Combine yogurt, garlic, onion, turmeric, cinnamon, paprika, tarragon, mint, red pepper flakes, and orange juice in a bowl. Stir to combine.
  • Dip each chicken thigh into yogurt mixture and place on a plate. Cover with foil and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking dish and place chicken thighs inside.
