Ingredients for Garlic-Curry Chicken Thighs with Yoghurt Sauce
1 head of garlic (about 12 cloves), peeled, finely chopped
60ml olive oil
2 tablespoons curry powder
475ml plain Greek yoghurt, divided
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
12 skin-on bone-in chicken thighs (about 2.7kg )
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
How to make Garlic-Curry Chicken Thighs with Yoghurt Sauce
Mix garlic, oil, curry powder, 240ml yoghurt, 2 teaspoons salt, and 60ml water in a large bowl. Working in batches, add chicken thighs and turn to coat, using your hands to rub marinade under skin of each thigh. Transfer to a resealable plastic bag and chill at least 3 hours or up to overnight.
Position a rack in upper third of oven and preheat to 218°C. Transfer marinated chicken, skin side up, to a 13x9" baking dish. Roast chicken until skin is browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of chicken registers 74°C, about 35 minutes. If chicken skin starts to burn, move pan to a lower rack to finish cooking.
Transfer chicken to a serving platter, reserving pan juices. Whisk lemon juice, 60ml pan juices, remaining 240ml yoghurt, and remaining 1/2 teaspoons salt in a medium bowl. If sauce is too thick, add more pan juices. Serve sauce alongside chicken.
Chicken can marinate up to 1 day before cooking. Keep chilled.
