Lemon Pepper Yogurt Chicken

Bone-in chicken thighs marinated in a bright, tangy blend of Greek yogurt, lemon zest, cracked pepper, and warm herbs, then air-fried until the skin is deeply golden and crackling. The yogurt locks in every bit of moisture while the spices bloom into something truly aromatic and bold.

Nutritional Features

Greek yogurt in the marinade tenderizes the chicken while contributing calcium and live cultures that support gut health. Bone-in, skin-on thighs are a rich source of protein, collagen, and B vitamins, and the combination of oregano, thyme, and paprika provides natural anti-inflammatory compounds alongside exceptional flavor.

Ingredient Swaps

You can use fat-free Greek yogurt.
