1/4 cup fat-free plain yogurt |
3 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano |
3/4 teaspoon chili powder |
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/4 teaspoon fresh pepper |
4 chicken thighs and 4 legs, skinless (about 1 3/4 pounds) |
4 fresh jalapeños, halved and seeded |
3/4 cup brewed coffee |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 400°F, with a rack centered. Coat a medium roasting pan with the cooking spray; set aside.
