Grilling the chicken with its yogurt coating keeps it succulent and flavourful. Instead of chicken breasts, you can also use eight boneless skinless chicken thighs if you prefer.

Place chicken on greased grill over medium heat; brush with any remaining marinade. Close lid and grill, turning once, until golden brown and no longer pink inside, about 12 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.
