1.Add 4 skin-on bone-in chicken thighs to a bowl. Dab dry with a paper towel.

2.Grab a medium mixing bowl to make the marinade. Add 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp tomato paste, 4-5 minced garlic cloves, the zest and juice of 1 large lemon, two very generous pinches salt, pepper, 1 tbsp smoked paprika, 1 tbsp oregano, 1/4 to 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper. Mix very well.

3.Add marinade to the chicken and massage into the chicken, covering all sides. Let this soak up the flavors for 2-6hrs, but ideally overnight.

4.When you’re ready to eat, remove chicken from fridge and let it come up to room temp before putting in the oven.

5.Place chicken on a wire rack pop into the oven at 425F for 37-40 mins. Or 400F for 40-45 mins. I prefer the higher heat.

6.While thats going, make your sauce. I processed 3tbsp thick greek yogurt (or labneh), a handful fresh mint (3 tbsp), 2 scallions, 1/2 large jalapeño, 1 tbsp olive oil, the juice of half a lemon, and a couple generous pinches of salt + pepper. Process well, taste, and adjust to your liking.

7.Plate up your chicken, and serve however way you wish. It goes amazing with regular rice, quinoa, or if you’re lowcarb/keto my high protein kaizen rice along with a simple cucumber salad and lots of sauce.

ENJOY!
