Chicken With Smoked Paprika Yogurt Marinade
Over the last couple of years I've used several recipes that involve marinating chicken breast or thighs in yogurt with spices. Tonight I came up with my own recipe and it was a hit!

Thanks for this! I used bone in with skin on and marinated for 3 hours. Baked in convection oven 1 hour @ 325. Very good! Great color with crispy out and juicy in! Next time I will add some hot paprika to kick it up a little, or maybe cayenne, or hot sauce to the marinade.
