Preparation Steps
- In a large mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and olive oil. Add salt, minced garlic, black pepper, ground cumin, paprika, onion powder, and red pepper flakes. Whisk until smooth.
- Place chicken thighs in a baking dish and pour marinade over them, coating well. Massage marinade into chicken, cover, and refrigerate for at least 5 minutes or overnight for best flavor.
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Allow chicken to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before baking.
- Bake chicken for 25-30 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- For a crispy finish, broil for the last 3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Let chicken rest for about 5 minutes before serving, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes
For maximum flavor, aim to marinate the chicken for 12 hours. Adjust red pepper flakes to suit your spice tolerance.
