🍗 Garlic Spiced Chicken Thighs (Juicy & Crispy)
Ingredients
- 6 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on is best for flavor)

Mix all spices, garlic, lemon juice, yogurt, and oil in a bowl.

🍳 Step 2: Sear (for flavor + crisp skin)
Heat a pan on medium-high heat.
Place chicken thighs skin-side down first.
Cook 4–5 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook another 3–4 minutes.

Transfer to an oven tray.
Bake at 200°C (392°F) for 20–25 minutes until fully cooked.
(If you don’t have an oven: cover the pan and cook on low heat for 15–20 minutes.)
