Greek Chicken

Recipe video above. Yogurt is a magical marinade! This chicken is golden on the outside, beautifully tenderised on the inside and infused with terrific garlic-oregano flavours. Serve this with a Greek Salad and flatbread - or see in post for a full Greek Feast menu! Marinade time: Overnight, min 3 hrs.

Ingredients

1.25 kg / 2.5 lb drumsticks and chicken thighs (, bone in skin on (Note 1))

6 garlic cloves (, minced (~ 2 tbsp))

2 tbsp white wine vinegar ((or red wine or apple cider vinegar))

1/2 cup / 125 ml lemon juice

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

3/4 cup Greek yogurt ((I use Farmers Union))

1 1/2 tbsp dried oregano

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

Plain Greek yogurt or Tzatziki

Fresh oregano leaves ((optional))

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 180C.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.
