¾ cupGreek yogurt

1 ½ Tbspdried oregano

Instructions

Step 1

Mix Marinade ingredients in a large bowl.

Step 2

Add chicken and coat well. Marinade for 24 hours (3 hours minimum).

Step 3

Preheat oven to 350F.

Step 4

Line a tray with foil (trust me), place rack on tray (optional).

Step 5

Place chicken on rack (reserve marinade), skin side up. Bake 30 minutes,

Step 6

Remove from oven. Brush with marinade - do not flip.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Rest for a few minutes before serving. Juicy and tasty enough to serve plain but extra great with tzatziki or even some plain yogurt.
