Directions
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the low-fat yogurt, spices, and any additional marinade ingredients until smooth.
-
Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat every piece evenly in the marinade.
-
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
-
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates or foil-lined surface to prevent sticking.
-
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and place it on the hot grill.
-
Grill the chicken for 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165&# 194;°F and the exterior is nicely charred.
-
Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate, tent loosely with foil, and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
