These spicy, tangy wings benefit from just 2 hours in the marinade, but if you’ve got the time and the determination, a full 8 hours will make magic happen. The yogurt tenderizes the chicken as it sits, so the further in advance you make this recipe, the better!

Recipe notes

Green Chutney Chicken

Cilantro and a handful of basic spices brings vibrant green color and rich flavor to broiled chicken thighs. Served with rice or naan, this is a weeknight win.

Air-Fryer Chicken Tikka

Lacking an actual tandoor, the air fryer might be the best way to make chicken tikka. Juicy, charred, and well-spiced, it’s your new weeknight MVP.

Joojeh Kebab

A take on Persian joojeh kebabs, these grilled saffron yogurt chicken thighs with herby labneh are vibrant, flavorful, and perfect for your next cookout.

Now-and-Later Roast Chickens

An easy technique that results in juicy, tender roast chicken. Cooking two chickens at once is the secret to easy meals throughout the week.

Minty Chicken Meatballs

Who says ground chicken is boring? Two whole bunches of mint and some aromatics give these chicken meatballs their bracingly herby flavor.

Sticky Honey-Soy Chicken Legs

Bone-in, skin-on chicken legs glossed in a sticky honey mustard glaze strike the perfect balance of tangy, sweet, and delightfully savory.

Smoky Orange Chicken Thighs

Chicken thighs cooked inside parchment packets alongside onions and oranges makes for a flavorful dinner that’s almost entirely hands off.

Sheet-Pan Chicken Souvlaki

Tender, juicy chicken skewers are possible in the oven—especially when roasted alongside spiced chickpeas and finished with fresh tomatoes and salty feta.
