Chicken thighs with lemony dill sauce

Ingrédients

4 skin-on bone-in chicken thighs

1 tbsp avocado oil

1 tbsp dijon mustard

juice of 1 lemon

a couple pinches salt

2 tbsp onion powder

1 tbsp dried dill

1 tbsp sweet paprika

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

1/2tbsp baking powder

Sauce:

4 tbsp plain thick greek yogurt (or sour cream)

3 tbsp mayo

juice of 1 large lemon

a handful fresh dill

1 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp Aleppo or any chili pepper

a pinch or two of salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425F.

2.Grab 4 skin-on bone-in chicken thighs, dab dry with a paper towel & add to an oven-safe dish. Dont over crowd so they have space. I like these in the pan since the chicken releases a lot of delicious juice, but you can also put them on a rack to get them crispier. Whatever you decide, let chicken come up to room temp about 30mins before you start seasoning them.

3.To season chicken, drizzle 1 tbsp avocado oil, 1 tbsp dijon mustard, juice of 1 lemon, a couple pinches salt, 2 tbsp onion powder, 1 tbsp dried dill, 1 tbsp sweet paprika, & 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper. I also add 1/2tbsp baking powder to make skin crispy. Mix well.

4.Put chicken in for an initial 35min visit at 425F. At 35mins remove the chicken, spoon over the juices at the bottom of the dish, and put it back in for another 5 minutes.

5.Make the sauce by processing 4 tbsp plain thick greek yogurt (or sour cream), 3 tbsp mayo, juice of 1 large lemon, a handful fresh dill, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp Aleppo or any chili pepper, & a pinch or two of salt. Process well. Give it a taste & adjust as you wish. I usually add more lemon juice to make it more citrusy or add a tablespoon of water to make the sauce last longer, but your call. This makes several servings.

6.Remove chicken from the oven, plate it up however way you want (with salad, rice, quinoa, or if you’re lowcarb, my high protein lowcarb @kaizenfoodco kaizen rice would go great here!). Then have however much of the sauce you want!

To make it more substantial, you can serve with sides, too!
