Mom's Grilled Chicken (Aka Chicken Delicious) Recipe #360259
Another winner from my mother, whom I believe is the greatest cook ever :-) My mother makes this every weekend and my 4-year old asks to go to my mother's to have some of what he calls "chicken delicious". Prep time does not include marination time. I have never measured ingredients when I make this so increase the spices if you wish. SOURCE: Mom.

SERVES 4
- 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
- Combine marinade ingredients.
- Marinate chicken for 12 hours- 48 hours (The longer the better).
- I carefully lift the skin, slash the chicken and spoon the marinade in, then cover with the skin again.
- The skin helps keep the chicken moist during cooking, but the chicken is equally good without it.
- Grill, brushing with more oil if desired.
