Greek Chicken

Ingredients

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

Method

1. Mix Marinade ingredients in a large bowl.
2. Add chicken and coat well. Marinade for 24 hours (3 hours minimum).1440 min timer
3. Preheat oven to 180C.350F.
4. Line a tray with foil (trust me), place rack on tray (optional).
5. Place chicken on rack (reserve marinade), skin side up. Bake 30 minutes,30 min timer
6. Remove from oven. Brush with marinade - do not flip.
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.20 min timer
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.
