Ingredients

1 cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together yogurt, lemon juice, and oil until smooth.
Add garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cayenne (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
Place chicken pieces (about 2 lbs) in a large resealable bag or dish. Pour marinade over chicken, turning to coat evenly.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor.
Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill over medium-high heat until cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side for breasts.

Tips

For best results, use full-fat yogurt to prevent curdling.
This marinade works well with chicken thighs, breasts, or drumsticks.
Leftover marinade can be boiled and used as a sauce if desired.
