Curried Chicken is a popular dish in many cultures, often served with rice or bread on the side. This recipe puts a healthier spin on the classic dish, using fat-free yogurt and baking instead of frying. The blend of spices in the curry powder adds depth and flavor to the dish, making it a filling and satisfying meal. Chicken drumsticks are a less expensive cut of chicken that works well in this recipe, but if desired, chicken breasts can be used instead. Serve with a side of rice or veggies for a complete meal.

1.	Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2.	In a bowl, mix together the yogurt, lemon juice, curry powder, ginger, garlic, coriander, and cayenne pepper.
3.	Place the chicken drumsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4.	Brush the yogurt mixture over the drumsticks, coating them evenly.
5.	Bake for 35-40 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy.
