yogurt and cilantro marinated grilled chicken



Ingredients


·         One chicken, cut into 6-8 pieces
·         2 cups of yogurt
·         One large bunch of cilantro (coriander leaves) stems included
·         3 tsps of salt
·         1 1/2 tsps black pepper
·         2 tsps ground coriander
·         4-6 cloves of garlic
·         2-3 green chilies

Steps

1.    Put all the ingredients into a blender and blend into a paste
2.    Marinate the chicken with the paste for at least 1-2 hours (you may scour the chicken to allow the flavors to go deep). You can also use thighs and bone in drumsticks.
3.    Fire up the grill to high
4.    Lay the chicken pieces skin side down on the hottest side of the grill in order to sear the skin side well.
5.    Grill for 5-10 minutes, depending on how hot the grill is (you do not want the chicken to burn).
6.    Once you have a good sear on one side, move the chicken pieces to the cooler side of the grill, or, if you are using a gas grill, lower the heat to medium low.
7.    Cover the grill and cook undisturbed for 20-30 minutes.
