Why I Love This Recipe

More Chicken!!! yay!


Ingredients You'll Need

Whole chicken cut into 8 pieces
1 cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
5 cloves garlic, minced
Zest (rind) of one lemon, minced
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
2 teaspoons cumin
1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt


Directions

In a bowl big enough to marinate the chicken, combine the yogurt, olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, mint leaves, cumin, cayenne pepper, and salt; set aside.


Rinse the chicken pieces well and pat dry. Add the chicken to the yogurt marinade, turning to coat both sides; cover with plastic wrap (or put in a plastic bag). Let marinade in the refrigerator at least 8 hours, preferably 24 hours.


Preheat barbecue grill. Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade. Place chicken on prepared grill and proceed as follows:


When coals are ready, spread them around the edge of the firebox (24" round) and keep a squirt bottle near the fire to put out flames. Turn the chicken often and don't let it burn. Breasts take about 25 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. (juices will run clear when cut with the tip of a knife). Do not close the lid on the barbecue.
