Greek Marinated Chicken

Ingredients
3½ to 4 lbs chicken thighs and drumsticks (This is not as good with the breasts and tenders because there isn't as much fat on them to cook in. I normally will make half the pan tenders and half the pan thighs and drumsticks. This way they all get to cook in the fat from the thighs and drumsticks but I am cutting the fat in half!)
1 cup plain yogurt
1 Tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced 
½ Tbsp Trader Joes 21 Season Salut (You can substitute with oregano)
1 lemon
½ tsp salt
pepper 
¼ bunch fresh parsley 



Marinade Directions
Combine the yogurt, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add a thin layer of lemon zest to the bowl and the juice from half of the lemon. Stir well and add a handful of chopped parsley.

Add all of the chicken to a large freezer bag and pour in the marinade to soak for a few hours. If you have less time, then just put it all into a baking pan and put in the fridge for at least 20 minutes. 

Baking Directions
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Bake for 45-60 minutes or until the skin on the drumsticks is a golden brown.
