Hướng dẫn

Marinade

Rinse chicken thighs in cool water and pat dry with paper towels. Trim off excess fat, if necessary (a pair of kitchen shears is the easiest way to do this!) and place in a glass bowl or heavy duty zip-top bag.

Place yogurt, lemon zest and juice, garlic, onion, olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, cumin, ginger, turmeric, and red pepper in the blender and process until smooth. Pour over chicken, toss to coat, and marinate for 24 hours for best results.

Grill

Preheat grill to medium heat and oil grill grates to avoid sticking. Remove chicken pieces from bag or bowl and allow excess marinade to drip off. Place chicken on grill and close lid. Cook for 4-6 minutes on each side or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165° F. However, you’ll want to aim for between 170-175° for improved flavor and texture.

Chicken can also be cooked in a skillet, indoor grill pan, or under the broiler. We suggest serving with Indian Style Turmeric Rice and a veggie of your choice.
