Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 pound chicken, cut into parts (alternatively, 3 to 3 1/2 pounds of bone-in, skin-on chicken parts, such as breasts, thighs and legs)
1 pinch Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 cups full-fat Greek yogurt, divided
5 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, divided
2 teaspoon ground turmeric, divided
2 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon fennel seed
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 piece large red onion, thinly sliced, divided
2 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup mint or cilantro leaves, torn

Steps:

  • Season chicken parts with salt & pepper
  • Combine 3/4 cup yogurt, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon turmeric and 2 tablespoons water in a large bowl. Season well with salt and pepper. (It should be on the salty side, as this is a marinade.) Add chicken and toss to coat evenly. Let sit at least 30 minutes at room temperature, and up to overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Place oven rack on the top third of the oven and heat to 425 degrees.
  • Combine chickpeas, fennel seed, cumin, remaining teaspoon of turmeric and half the red onion slices on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
  • Move chickpeas to the outer edges of the baking sheet. Scrape any excess marinade off the chicken, and place the chicken parts in the center. Place baking sheet in oven and bake, tossing chickpeas occasionally, until the skin of the chicken is evenly browned and the chickpeas are golden and starting to crisp, 45 to 50 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toss remaining onion slices with 2 tablespoons lemon juice and season with salt and pepper; set aside.
  • Combine remaining yogurt with remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice and season with salt and pepper; set aside.

This was a really easy recipe to follow. I didn't have any cumin or turmeric, so I used curry powder instead. It turned out great!

I'm not a big fan of chickpeas, but this dish changed my mind! The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the chickpeas were soft and creamy. I'll definitely be making this again.
