Tandoori-Style Yoghurt Chicken Thighs

Chicken thighs sit in a spiced yoghurt marinade that keeps them tender and gives a gorgeous charred crust. Needs 3 hours marinating.

Ingredients

  • 800 gram chicken thigh fillets
  • 200 gram greek yoghurt
  • 2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 3 clove garlic
  • 2 teaspoon ginger
  • 1 piece lemon

Instructions

  1. 1Stir the yoghurt, cumin, paprika, garam masala, crushed garlic, grated ginger and lemon juice together in a large bowl.
  2. 2Slash each chicken thigh twice with a knife so the marinade gets in.
  3. 3Turn the chicken through the yoghurt, cover, and refrigerate for 3 hours.
  4. 4Heat the barbecue to medium and wipe the grill bars with oil.
  5. 5Shake the excess marinade off each thigh and lay them flat on the bars.
  6. 6Grill for 10 minutes, then turn and grill for another 10 minutes, until deeply coloured with dark charred edges.
  7. 7Check the thickest thigh reads 75°C, or cut it open and look for white flesh and clear juices.
  8. 8Rest the chicken on a warm plate for 5 minutes before serving.
