1
In a large mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, salt, ginger, garlic, paprika, cumin and lemon juice.
2
Toss chicken into the bowl generously coating it with the yogurt mix.
3
Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour prior to making it, marinating it longer is better.
4
Remove chicken from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to cooking so it is room temperature prior to cooking.
5
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Use a roasting pan to arrange chicken in a single layer nestling lemon halves in between.
6
Roast chicken 25 minutes at 400 degrees F. Remove chicken from the oven and garnish with cilantro.

Switch the oven to high broiler setting. Place chicken under the broiler 5-6 minutes to blacken the edges a bit. Remove and devour!
