Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • medium-sized bowl
  • oven-safe pan

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 boneless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup greek yogurt
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/81/4 tsp chili flakes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme
  • 2 tsp butter

Instructions

PREPARATIONS

  • In a medium-sized bowl, mix the following ingredients into a marinade: yogurt, lemon juice, peeled and pressed garlic cloves, chili flakes, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  • Place the chicken thighs in the bowl and rub them thoroughly with the marinade. Let the thighs marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour up to overnight.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C / 392°F.
  2. Remove the chicken thighs from the refrigerator and place them skin-side up in an ovenproof pan. Slice a lemon and arrange the slices between the chicken thighs in the pan. Place about 1/2 teaspoon of butter on each thigh and drizzle 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil over everything.
  3. Bake the pan with the thighs in the oven for about 45 minutes uncovered. Depending on the size of the thighs, it might take a bit longer. Turn on the broiler 5-10 minutes before the end of cooking to get the chicken really crispy. A delicious sauce will naturally form in the pan while baking.
  4. Serve the hot thighs and the sauce immediately. They go best with salad, potatoes, or rice. Enjoy your piece of bliss!
