Spicy Grilled Chicken Legs

I got this recipe from my co-worker. D made it. It was easy to prep and I assume if you can use a grill (I cannot), it is easy to grill.

Very flavorful. It was Indian Chicken without the sauce. But still a good cookout food.

We had with rice and broccoli.

Spicy Grilled Chicken Legs

• 8-10 skinless chicken legs, slitted on the sides
• 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste (D used ginger and garlic)
• 2 tsp red chilli powder (1.5 tsp of chili powder and .5 tsp of cayenne...D could get it in 5 lbs and I didn't feel like going to the Indian Food Store to see if it was there).
• 1 tbsp coriander powder
• 1 tsp turmeric powder
• 1 tsp garam masala
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• salt, to taste
• 1 tbsp light cooking oil
• 1 tbsp yogurt (used Greek plain, bc it was on sale for $0.59 and I had a $0.30 coupon)
• 2 tbsp lemon juice

Method:
1. Mix all the spices, including the lemon juice, yogurt and oil in a big bowl and rub on chicken well enough to coat through. Let it sit to marinate for an hour or so.
2. (D used a grill since it is called Grilled Chicken). Preheat oven to 375 degrees and grill chicken for 20-25 minutes, turning once in between, till chicken is tender and cooked through.
3. Garnish with lemon slices and serve warm right from the grill, or at room temperature.

Spicy Notes: For best results, let the chicken marinate in the fridge
overnight.
