Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1–2 jalapeños, seeds removed
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lime juice
Salt to taste
Instructions
Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). A hot oven ensures the chicken gets that crispy skin we all love!
Season the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and rub the spice mixture all over the chicken, making sure each piece is well coated.
Roast the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken skin-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reads 165°F (75°C) and the skin is golden brown and crispy.
Make the Creamy Green Sauce: While the chicken is roasting, combine the cilantro, jalapeños, garlic, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Serve It Up: Once the chicken is done, take it out of the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve each piece drizzled with the creamy green sauce, and garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
