- In a mixing bowl or a mason jar, add 1 cup of Greek yogurt, ¼ cup of olive oil, the juice and zest of 1 lemon, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 teaspoons of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and ½ teaspoon each of garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Whisk or shake vigorously until smooth.
- Place 2 pounds of your choice of chicken into a large zip-top plastic bag or shallow dish, ensuring even arrangement.
- Pour the prepared marinade over the chicken, ensuring generous coating, then seal the bag tightly or cover the dish.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, ideally up to 24 hours, to enhance flavor and tenderness.
