A flavorful and easy-to-make chicken dish with a tangy yogurt marinade.
In a large bowl, combine the lemon juice and chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated.
Using fresh lemon juice enhances the tanginess of the marinade.
In a separate bowl, mix together the yogurt, garlic, ginger, paprika, mint, and salt until well combined.
Grating the ginger finely ensures it blends well into the marinade.
Pour the yogurt mixture over the chicken in the large bowl, stirring to coat evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
Marinating overnight allows the flavors to deeply penetrate the chicken.
Preheat the broiler and position the oven rack to the upper third. Remove the chicken from the marinade, discarding any excess marinade.
Using a broiler rack helps achieve a nice char on the chicken.
Place the chicken on a baking sheet and broil for 15 minutes, turning halfway through.
Keep an eye on the chicken to prevent over-browning.
Reduce the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and bake the chicken for an additional 15 minutes until fully cooked.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Serve the chicken hot with your choice of sides, such as rice or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for added freshness.
