  2. Coat the chicken pieces evenly with the yogurt marinade. Use your hands or a spatula to ensure every nook and cranny is covered.
  3. Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes. For deeper flavor, consider leaving it in the fridge for a few hours or even overnight.
  4. Cook the marinated chicken in a preheated oven or on the grill until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, which usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
