  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced

  • COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, minced ginger, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Whisk everything together until well blended.
  • Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring that each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if you plan to roast the chicken. If grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess. Place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or directly on the grill.
  • If roasting, cook the chicken in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). For grilling, cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness.
  • Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven or grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
  • For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper to the marinade if you enjoy a bit of heat.
  • Pair the sach chicken with a cooling cucumber yogurt sauce or a tangy mint chutney to balance the spices. Additionally, you can experiment with different herbs and spices in the marinade to suit your taste preferences.
