Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place 1 1/2 cups of plain yogurt in a wide, shallow bowl.
  3. Season bread crumbs with salt and freshly ground pepper; spread them on a platter.
  4. Set up a wire rack over a baking sheet.
  5. Pat chicken thighs and legs dry with paper towels.
  6. Dip each chicken piece into the yogurt, ensuring it is thoroughly coated on both sides.
  7. Roll each yogurt-coated piece in the seasoned bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  8. Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared wire rack.
  9. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and crumbs are golden.
  10. While chicken bakes, make the dipping sauce: Combine 1 cup plain yogurt, garlic puree, coarsely chopped onion, sliced ginger, chopped green chilies, sugar, salt, mint, coriander, and parsley in a blender or food processor.
  11. Pulse until a thin, flecked green sauce is achieved.
  12. To serve, place a piece of chicken on each plate.
  13. Drizzle the garlic-mint sauce around the chicken on the plate.
  14. Serve the remaining chicken on a platter with the rest of the sauce in a pitcher.
