Instructions
- Step 1: In a bowl, combine 500 g boneless chicken thighs cut into 2-inch pieces with 100 g yogurt, 1 tbsp garlic paste, 1 tbsp ginger paste, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Mix thoroughly to coat each piece evenly.
- Step 2: Cover and marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to let the spices penetrate.
- Step 3: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper and drizzle 2 tbsp olive oil over it.
- Step 4: Arrange the marinated chicken pieces spaced evenly on the tray, ensuring no pieces touch to allow proper heat circulation for even cooking.
- Step 5: Bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes until the edges start to brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), turning the pieces halfway through.
- Step 6: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
