-

1 Tbsp olive oil

1 tsp ground coriander

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp ground turmeric
-
1 tsp cayenne pepper
-
1 tsp onion powder
-
1 Tbsp garam masala
-
1 Tbsp sweet paprika
-
1 cup plain yogurt (gluten free if needed)
-
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
-
4 garlic cloves, minced

Preparation
-
- In a small saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the coriander, cumin, turmeric, cayenne, onion powder, garam masala and paprika and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, whisk the yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, ginger and salt. Add the cooled spice mixture and stir to combine.
- Place the chicken in a glass or ceramic baking pan. Cut deep slashes into the chicken and coat with yogurt marinade. Chill, covered, for 1 to 6 hours.
- Preheat the grill to high heat. Spray the grill rack with nonstick grill cooking spray. Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off and discarding the excess marinade. Grill the chicken, covered, for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until it is brown and slightly charred on all sides. Remove from grill and transfer to a baking dish.
- Preheat the oven to 350°. Bake the chicken for 20 to 25 minutes, or until cooked through and a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken registers 165°.
- The chicken can be served warm or at room temperature. Top with fresh cilantro and serve with lemon wedges.
