Chicken Marinade Adventure

I had originally planned to make fried chicken but I fell in love with my yogurt marinade along the way. I quartered a roaster and marinated it in yogurt and mustard, fresh garlic, milk, kosher salt, freshly ground pepper, and Hungarian paprika. Then I shook it all up in a plastic container and let it sit in the fridge for two days. This morning I placed the chicken and the marinade in my big Dutch oven and covered it and baked it at 350. I also baked a pot of brown rice on the other shelf, and took a walk. When I got home both had cooked and my home smelled marvelous. I took off the lid to the chicken and broiled the cooked parts. When it was cooked I transferred it all to a small glass baking dish. I added the extra pan juices to the rice along with last nights onion spinach garlic green-olive leftovers. I cook the way I paint.It's all an improvised adventure.
The yogurt-marinated chicken tastes like I baked it in cheese. It is fabulous and tender.
