Mom's Grilled Chicken (Aka Chicken Delicious)

Ingredients

• 1 (2.5-3 lb)  roasting chickens, cut up

Marinade

• 2/3 cup yogurt (nonfat ok)
• 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
• 2-4 tablespoons oil (Do not use olive oil)
• 10 garlic cloves (crushed)
• 4 small whole cinnamon sticks
• 6 cardamom pods
• 6 whole cloves
• 1 teaspoon Arabic seven spice
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1. 1

   Combine marinade ingredients.

2. 2

   Marinate chicken for 12 hours- 48 hours (The longer the better).

3. 3

   I carefully lift the skin, slash the chicken and spoon the marinade in, then cover with the skin again.

4. 4

   The skin helps keep the chicken moist during cooking, but the chicken is equally good without it.

5. 5

   Grill, brushing with more oil if desired.
