Ingredients

1-1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt
3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh gingerroot
1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon fennel seed
3/4 teaspoon ground fenugreek
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

6 bone-in chicken thighs (about 2 pounds)
HONEY-LIME SAUCE:
2 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons honey
3 tablespoons lime juice

Whisk together the first 13 ingredients until blended. Pour 1 cup marinade into a shallow dish. Add chicken; turn to coat. Refrigerate, covered, at least 3 hours or overnight. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.

Preheat oven to 375°. Drain chicken, discarding marinade. Bake chicken in a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan until a thermometer reads 170°, 20-25 minutes.
