Popular in South Asia—chicken is marinated in yogurt and spices and then roasted until charred.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in half
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 Tbs smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp coriander
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 Tbs lemon juice

Directions

  • Prepare chicken by pricking with fork.
  • Combine all ingredients, except chicken in a large bowl. Mix well.
  • Add chicken and marinate for 23 hours, or overnight, refrigerated.
  • Preheat oven to highest temperature. Bake chicken on wire rack over baking dish until golden and internal temperature reaches 165F. You can also prepare chicken on the grill.
  • To get the chicken a little more charred, turn the broiler on high in the last few minutes of cooking, while watching carefully so it doesn't burn.
