Yogurt Chicken With Garlic-Mint Dipping Sauce

Pour yogurt into wide shallow bowl and set it on your work surface. Season the bread crumbs with salt and freshly ground pepper. Spread crumbs out on a platter and place next to the yogurt. Place a wire rack over a baking sheet and set it aside. Dry chicken pieces. Dip each piece into the yogurt until thoroughly coated on both sides. Then roll each piece in the crumbs, pressing the piece in so that the crumbs adhere.

Each piece should be evenly coated. Place chicken on the wire rack.

Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. To serve, place a piece of chicken on each of 4 small plates. Pour some sauce in a crescent on the bottom edge of each plate around the chicken but not on it.
