Marinade and Chicken
Method
Preparation and Cooking
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, mix together the yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt. Add the chicken pieces and ensure they are well coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Grill the Chicken
Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. Thread the chicken onto skewers, if desired. Grill the chicken pieces for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and juices run clear. The internal temperature should reach 75°C (165°F).
