I was confused about with onion and yogurt and without onion and yogurt . Thanks million for this clearance about two kinds of marinate . Thangs again and subscribe to your channel

perfect. as a Persian, we use Mayonnaise instead of yogurt also there should be a small green bell pepper and some thyme in the marinate. then its exactly restaurant style

How can I cook it in the oven or on stove?

It’s better first marinate the chicken without onions, because onions will soak the marinade and when grilling the onions will burn !😊
