Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 lbs chicken drumsticks
  • juice from 1/2 a lemon
  • 2 cloves of garlic finely diced
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Combine all the ingredients except the chicken in a bowl and mix well.
  • Place the chicken in a Ziploc bag and then pour the yogurt mixture in over it.
  • Zip the plastic bag closed fully removing as much air as possible and then gently shake or just manipulate the chicken around so that it is covered fully by the yogurt marinade.
  • When you're ready to cook, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Dump (get it, chicken dump recipe) the chicken into a large baking dish.
  • Cook the chicken for at least 45 minutes. You want it to have a nice golden brown color when it's done, so if it hasn't quite gotten there you can bake for an additional 10-15 minutes.
