Ingredients

  • 8 Whole Chicken legs
  • 1/2 Cup Fat free Greek yogurt
  • 1 Whole Lemon juiced
  • 2 Tbsp Kashmiri chili powder
  • 3 Whole Garlic cloves grated
  • 2 Inches Ginger grated
  • 1/2 Tsp Ground black pepper
  • 2 Whole Cloves ground
  • 2 Tsp Paprika
  • 1 Tsp Turmeric
  • 1 Tsp Cumin
  • 1 Tsp Coriander
  • 1 Tbsp Canola oil

Instructions

  1. Score the chicken pieces with several deep cuts each and set aside. Mix all the ingredients well in a container for marinating. Next, add in the scored chicken and mix until each piece is coated well. Marinate it in the fridge overnight.

    I used a clay baking dish my wife found in the basement. I put the chicken pieces into the "clay pot". I baked the chicken legs at 325 degrees for 15 minutes covered. Next, I took off the top and continued cooking for another 10 minutes to try and get some color. Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes.

    Serve and enjoy.
