Marinate chicken for at least 2-4 hours (or overnight) to allow the lemon, garlic, and herbs to deeply penetrate the meat, resulting in tender, intensely flavored chicken throughout.

Opt for boneless thighs instead of breasts when possible—their higher fat content keeps them moist and forgiving, preventing the dry texture that can occur with leaner breast meat.

Warm the Greek yogurt slowly by whisking in a small amount of warm pan drippings before adding the full sauce to prevent curdling and ensure a silky, creamy texture.

Cut golden potatoes into uniform 1-inch pieces and toss with olive oil and salt before roasting—this ensures they cook at the same rate and develop crispy exteriors with creamy centers.

Stir fresh dill into the garlic sauce just before serving to preserve its delicate, bright flavor and aromatic qualities that would diminish if cooked or sitting too long.
