Grilled Chicken Marinade
Description
This marinade combines yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, and warm spices like turmeric and garam masala to tenderize and flavor the chicken. The mixture creates a creamy, aromatic coating that penetrates the meat during a long refrigeration period. Grilled until golden and juicy, this dish is perfect for a flavorful and satisfying dinner.Directions
