¾ cup full fat plain yogurt
2-3 cloves of peeled and minced garlic (to taste)
1 inch (or more) cube of peeled and minced ginger (to taste)

-
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
½-1 teaspoon cracked black pepper (to taste)
1 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Thoroughly mix all ingredients (except chicken) in a large bowl.
Once mixed, add chicken thighs and massage yogurt mixture into the chicken, making sure to go under the skin.

Roast chicken in oven for 25 minutes with last 5-10 minutes on broil at 420 degrees Fahrenheit.
