Method

  1. Prep

    Marinate

    Coat chicken in yogurt, lemon, spices, garlic, ginger and salt. Marinate at least 4 hours.

    Why: Yogurt tenderises and carries spice deep into the meat.

  2. Finish

    Grill

    Grill over medium-high heat, turning often, 25โ€“30 minutes until charred and cooked through.

    Why: Frequent turning prevents burning before cooking through.

Chef's tip

A pinch of beetroot powder in the marinade deepens the red colour.
