Chicken Marinade

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large mixing bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, red chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Grilling the Chicken

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or tandoor to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are glowing and covered with ash.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Chicken for Grilling

    Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. If desired, thread the chicken onto skewers for easier handling.

  3. 5

    Grill the Chicken

    Lightly brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking. Place the marinated chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

  4. 6

    Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with naan or rice and your favorite chutney.
