Turkish Chicken Thighs - CDKitchen.com

serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  1-2 hrs

ingredients

3 1/2 pounds skinless chicken thighs, trimmed
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup plain low-fat yogurt
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
2 teaspoons hot paprika
1 1/2 teaspoon dried mint
1/2 teaspoon salt

directions

Place chicken in a large bowl. Add lemon juice and toss to coat.

Whisk yogurt, garlic, ginger, paprika, mint and salt in a separate bowl. Pour the yogurt mixture over the chicken and stir to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.

Position rack in upper third of oven and preheat broiler. Remove the chicken from the marinade (discard marinade). Place the chicken on a broiler rack and broil until browned on top, about 15 minutes.

Reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees F and bake until the chicken is juicy and just cooked through, about 15 minutes longer (Thigh meat will appear dark pink, even when cooked through).

Serve immediately.

NOTE: In this dish with a Turkish influence, the acidity of the yogurt helps tenderize the chicken and keep it moist. If you can't find hot paprika, substitute 2 teaspoons sweet paprika and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne.
