Method

  • In a medium bowl, stir together yogurt, salt, black pepper, garlic cloves, and ginger. Mix in ground garlic, paprika, cumin, cinnamon, and coriander, and set aside.
  • Rinse chicken under cold water, and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Place chicken in a large re-sealable plastic bag. Pour yogurt mixture over chicken, press air out of bag, and seal. Turn the bag over several times to distribute marinade.
