How to Make Yogurt Marinated Chicken
  1. Mix the plain yogurt and your choice of seasoning in a bowl. Combine thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, creamy mixture that’s packed with flavor. This should take about a minute!
  2. Coat the chicken pieces evenly with the yogurt marinade. Use your hands or a spatula to ensure every nook and cranny is covered, promoting juicy and flavorful results.
  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. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F, which usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
