CHICKEN MARINATED IN YOGURT SAUCE

This is my quick and tasty recipe for chicken legs. You can use chicken thighs or chicken breast if you prefer it. Today I served the chicken with roasted winter vegetables and baked potatoes but very good served with rice, pasta or with just a simple salad.

YOU NEED

• 8 chicken drum sticks
• 5 tbsp natural yogurt
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 2-4 cloves of garlic, crushed
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 2 tsp balsamic vinegar or normal vinegar
• 2 tsp mixed dried herbs
• 2 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp chili pepper
• Salt and pepper to taste.

1) First wash chicken pieces and drain.

2) mix the marinade: Mix yogurt and tomato puree. Add the crushed garlic, oil and vinegar.

3) Add the herbs, spices , salt and pepper. Mix well.

4) Pour the marinade over the chicken, cover with cling film and keep it in the fridge preferably overnight. ( if you don't have time, minimum 2-4 hour will be fine )

5) Cook the chicken pieces in preheated oven ,190 C for 45 minutes to one hour.
