Ingredients

Chicken + Marinade

  • 1 Cup Greek Yogurt full fat
  • 1/2 Cup Fresh Cilantro chopped
  • 1 Lime Juiced
  • 1/2 Lime Zest
  • 3 Cloves Garlic chopped
  • 1/2 Tablespoons Garam Masala
  • 1 Whole Chicken* (about 5 pounds) cut into 8 pieces
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine the marinade ingredients.
  • Lay chicken (1 whole) cut into 8 pieces in a casserole dish or baking sheet.
  • Spoon marinade over the chicken, and rub to cover. Be sure to add marinade under the skin whenever possible.
  • Place in the fridge for 3 hours - overnight.
  • After marinated, remove the chicken from the container and scrape off as much of the marinade as possible. Place chicken on a clean plate.
  • Heat your grill to medium-high heat.
  • Clean the grates and brush them with vegetable oil.
  • Add chicken to grill and cover.
  • Cook on each side for about 7 minutes -- this will vary depending on how thick your chicken is and how hot the grill is -- you'll know your chicken is done once the internal temp has reached 165 F.
  • Use a fresh pair of tongs to remove chicken from the grill and place it on a clean plate.
  • Loosely cover with foil for 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Serve with chopped cilantro, peanuts, more yogurt, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Chicken. This marinade works with whatever part of the chicken you're cravings. Our favorite to use in bone-in/skin-on chicken thighs. We also enjoy skinless chicken breast for a lighter meal.
