An acidic and bright simple entree. Recipe by Ashleigh Shanti.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine yogurt, ginger garlic, orange juice and zest, paprika, cumin, brown sugar, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
Move yogurt marinade to resealable freezer bag and add the chicken. Seal the bag, massaging to ensure yogurt has completely coated the chicken. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or up to 8 hours.
Once the chicken has marinated, remove from the refrigerator and preheat oven to 400ºF.
Remove chicken from marinade, wiping of any excess.
Place chicken skin side up in a Dutch oven and top with grapeseed oil, and orange halves nestled alongside.
Roast, uncovered, for 35-40 minutes, until chicken reached an internal temperature of 165ºF and skin is golden brown.
While the chicken rests in a Dutch oven, add the shallots and orange juice to a small bowl and set aside.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together yogurt, Dijon, olive oil, and salt. Fold shallot mixture into the yogurt dressing and gently toss with picked herbs.
Remove chicken from Dutch oven, discarding orange halves and arrange on a serving platter.
Serve herb salad atop the roasted chicken thighs, spooning dressing over. Serve immediately.
