Afghan Kebab-e-Murgh (Chicken marinated in a yoghurt cumin sauce)

Ingredients

  • 2 cup plain yoghurt
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp cumin ground
  • 1 rsp coriander ground
  • ½ tsp black pepper ground
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 lbs. chicken thighs boneless and skinless
  • Ground sumac for garnish
  • Red pepper flakes for garnish
  • Sliced lemon for garnish
  • Flat leaf parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Mix all Ingredients together in a bowl (except the chicken thighs). Once mixed well, add in the chicken and coat all the pieces well. Cover the bowl and refrigerate- or pour the contents into a Ziploc bag and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
  • Take the chicken out and place into a colander to drain off the yoghurt marinade. You will want to remove as much of the marinade as possible by wiping it off.
  • Spray your grill grates with some oil. Turn on your barbecue grill and get it to a nice, hot temperature. Grill the chicken for about 7 minutes a side until they are cooked though.
  • Remove chicken, cover in foil, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving warm with naan bread.
  • Garnish with lemons, parsley, sumac and red pepper flakes.
