Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp chopped rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped thyme, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create a herb marinade.
  2. Step 2: Rub the herb marinade evenly over 4 bone-in chicken thighs, ensuring they are fully coated.
  3. Step 3: Place the chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for 35-40 minutes until the skin is golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. Step 4: While the chicken roasts, prepare the sauce by combining 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tsp lemon zest, and 1 tbsp lemon juice in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and refrigerate.
  5. Step 5: Once the chicken is done, serve it hot with a dollop of the garlic yogurt sauce on top to mimic snowy peaks.
