Suggested Recipes
-
1/4 cup (50 mL) plain Balkan-style yogurt
2 tbsp (25 mL) lemon juice
2 tbsp (25 mL) vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp (15 mL) grated gingerroot
1/2 tsp (2 mL) each ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, salt and pepper
1/4 tsp (1 mL) cayenne pepper
4 chicken breasts (or 8 thighs)
Onion Relish:
1 cup (250 mL) thinly sliced red onion
2 tbsp (25 mL) minced fresh coriander
2 tbsp (25 mL) lemon juice
Pinch each salt and pepper
Preparation:
In large bowl, mix yogurt, lemon juice, oil, garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, turmeric, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper.
Trim any fat or loose skin from chicken. Add chicken to marinade; turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate, turning occasionally, for 4 hours. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 12 hours.)
Heat 1 burner of 2-burner barbecue or 2 outside burners of 3-burner barbecue to medium. Brush grill over unlit burner with oil. Place chicken, bone side down, on greased grill. Close lid and grill until bottom is marked, about 25 minutes.
Turn and grill until no longer pink inside and juices run clear when chicken is pierced, about 20 minutes. Move any pieces that need more crisping or colouring over direct medium heat. Close lid; grill until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
Onion Relish: Meanwhile, in bowl, combine onion, coriander, lemon juice, salt and pepper; let stand for 30 minutes. Serve with chicken.
