Total time: 4 h 10 min
Yield: 6 servings
Cuisine: Indian
Ingredients: 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs; 1 cup plain yogurt; 3 cloves garlic, minced; 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger; 1 tablespoon garam masala; 1 teaspoon ground cumin; 1 teaspoon ground coriander; 1/2 teaspoon turmeric; 1/2 teaspoon paprika; 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste); Salt and black pepper to taste; Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, minced garlic, grated ginger, garam masala, cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and then add them to the bowl with the marinade. Use your hands to coat the chicken evenly with the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-covered. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or ideally, up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
After marinating, remove the chicken thighs from the bowl and let any excess marinade drip off.
Place the chicken thighs in a baking dish, skin-side up, making sure they are not crowded. Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy and golden brown.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish the Indian Chicken Thighs with fresh cilantro leaves and serve them hot with rice, naan bread, or a side salad.
