Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 1/4 cup fat-free plain yogurt

- 3/4 teaspoon chili powder

- 1/4 teaspoon fresh pepper
- 4 chicken thighs and 4 legs, skinless (about 1 3/4 pounds)

Preparation
- 1. Heat oven to 400°F, with a rack centered. Coat a medium roasting pan with the cooking spray; set aside.
