Pasos
Preparar
- 🥄Combine the marinade ingredients in a large ziplock bag (or bowl).
- 🔥Add the chicken and use your hands to make sure each piece is coated.
Pasos
- 🔥If using a ziplock bag, I find it convenient to close the bag then massage the bag to disperse the rub all over each chicken piece.
Preparar
- 🧂Marinate overnight or up to 24 hours.
- 🍳Combine the Yoghurt Sauce ingredients in a bowl and mix.
Pasos
- 🍳Cover and put in the fridge until required (it will last for 3 days in the fridge).
Cocinar
- Heat grill/BBQ (or large heavy based pan on stove) on medium high.
Pasos
- 🍽️You should not need to oil it because the marinade has oil in it and also thigh fillets have fat.
Cocinar
- 🌿But if you are worried then oil your hotplate/grill.
