Spicy Chicken Thighs

Ingredients

  • 4 large skinless chicken thighs (1 1/2 pounds I use boneless-skinless.)

  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

Method

  1. Put the chicken thighs into a glass dish.
  2. Mix the yogurt, salsa, curry powder, and cumin together in a separate small bowl.
  3. Pour this mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated by turning them.
  4. Cover the dish and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6-hours, or for up to 24 hours.
  5. Heat your oven to 375 degrees.
  6. Move the chicken and all the sauce into an ovenproof dish that has been sprayed with nonstick pan spray.
  7. Bake without a cover for 40 to 45 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
