While the chicken thighs are marinating, prepare the flavorful sauce in which they will be baked. To do this, mix kefir with the juice of half a lemon, add a pinch each of paprika, oregano, coriander, and dried herbs. Finely chop the garlic, and finely chop or grate the ginger. Add them to the sauce.
