Spiced Grilled Chicken Recipe

yogurt

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is more budget-friendly.

green chili

🥗Healthier: jalapeño

💰Cheaper: bell pepper

Bell pepper provides flavor without heat.

garam masala

💰Cheaper: curry powder

Curry powder is a more accessible spice blend.

Grind up black peppercorns, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and fennel seeds.

Put the ground spices into a bowl.

Add chili powder, ground cloves, ground cinnamon, garlic powder, onion powder, and sugar to the bowl and mix well.

Add salt to the mixture.

Pour in apple cider vinegar and oil (vegetable or canola) to create the marinade.

Mix the marinade thoroughly.

Pour the marinade over boneless skinless chicken thighs and mix well to ensure every piece is coated.

Set the chicken aside for at least 2 hours to marinate.

Heat up a cast iron grill, keeping it on medium to medium-low heat.

Oil the grill before placing the chicken on it.

Place the marinated chicken on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown and a little charred on the outside.

Ensure the chicken does not stick to the grill; it should turn over easily when ready.

Remove the chicken from the grill when cooked through and juicy.
