Yogurt Chicken roast / Chicken roast recipe / Chicken roast in Oven recipes with detailed step by step photos. Yogurt chicken roast is one of the simple and yet delicious chicken cook with yogurt and few spices. It requires few ingredients. These chicken are moist tender and flavorful. This yogurt/curd marinade takes few minutes to put all the ingredients together.

I usually make grilled chicken or chili chicken when ever i have guests coming. Few weeks ago I bought whole chicken thighs and was wondering what to cook other than grilled/tandoori chicken. I surfed lots of recipe and finally decide to make this yogurt chicken roast. I adapted this recipe from one of the old you tube video. To tell the truth first I was skeptical about the taste and as we use only few spices with lots of yogurt. Somehow i made it and the final output was super hit as everyone liked it lot and the chicken is juicy and its delicious.

So this time i made this yogurt chicken for weekend dinner and i captured the photos to post it here.
