  Step 1
  PREP/PREPARE
• 
  Step 2
  Gather your ingredients.
• 
  Step 3
  In a small non-reactive bowl add all the marinade ingredients.
• 
  Step 4
  Whisk together.
•

  Step 7
  Chef’s Note: I tried several different yogurts for this recipe. I started with Greek yogurt, but it imparted too much alternate flavor to the chicken. What I finally liked was whole milk yogurt. It’s similar to a buttermilk marinade but with additional notes of flavor.
• 
  Step 8
  Thoroughly combine the marinade with the chicken.
• 
  Step 9
  Cover the bowl, and allow to rest in the refrigerator for 4 (up to 8) hours.
• 
  Step 10
  Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 360 (182c).
• Step 11
  Place a piece of parchment paper in a baking sheet.
• 
  Step 12
  Chef’s Note: If you have a cooling rack that will work, place that on the parchment paper. That way the chicken will have a chance to cook on all sides evenly.
• 
  Step 13
  Remove the chicken from the refrigerator, shake off any excess marinade and place on the baking sheet.
• 
  Step 14
  Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, until the juices in the chicken run clear.
• 
  Step 15
  Chef’s Tip: The best way to know if your chicken is finished cooking, use an instant read thermometer, the internal temp should be 165f (75c).
