Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, I served this dish with Tandoori shrimp and vegetables with mint & cilantro chutney, basmati rice. It was yammy!
Ingredients
- 5-6 (3.5 to 4 pound) skinless, boneless chicken thigh or breast shopping list
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil shopping list
- 1/2 cup chopped white onion shopping list
- 2 tablespoons chopped garlic shopping list
- 2 tablespoons chopped ginger shopping list
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped serrano or jalapeno pepper, stem and seeds removed shopping list
- 1 tablespoon paprika shopping list
- 11/2 teaspoons salt shopping list
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin shopping list
- 1 teaspoon turmeric shopping list
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander shopping list
- 1 teaspoon garam masala shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne shopping list
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt shopping list
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice shopping list
How to make it
- With a fork, prick holes in the chicken pieces. Place the chicken in a plastic bag.
- In a blender, combine the oil, onion, garlic, ginger, pepper, and process on high speed to a paste. Add the paprika, salt, cumin, turmeric, coriander, garam masala, and cayenne, and process until well blended. Add the yogurt and lemon juice, and process to a smooth sauce, scraping down the sides to combine all the ingredients. Pour the marinade over the chicken. Turn to coat evenly, rubbing the marinade into the chicken. Close it tightly, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, and up to 24 hours, turning occasionally.
- Preheat a grill.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade. Place on the grill and cook for 8 to 10 minutes on the first side. Turn, baste as needed, and cook on the second side for 8 to 10 minutes. Turn and continue cooking, as necessary until the chicken is cooked through, but still tender, about 25 to 30 minutes.
