  • Mix yogurt, garlic, ginger, lemon juice, honey, coriander, cumin, cinnamon, cayenne, olive oil, salt, and pepper together in a glass or ceramic bowl. Slather it on the chicken, making sure it gets underneath the skin and into the cavity. Cover the bowl or wrap in plastic wrap.
  • Marinate the chicken in a refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour and 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.
