Ingredients
Scale
- 1 whole chicken (about 2.6 lbs)
- 1 cup natural yogurt
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp ground fenugreek
- 2 tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tbsp tomato purée
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 2 tsp honey
- 2 tsp cider vinegar
Instructions
- Remove the backbone of the chicken and flatten it.
- In a bowl, combine yogurt, ground cumin, smoked paprika, ground coriander, ground fenugreek, ground turmeric, tomato purée, crushed garlic, lemon zest and juice, honey, and cider vinegar. Mix well.
- Rub the marinade all over the chicken, ensuring it's coated thoroughly. Marinate for at least 1 hour, ideally up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
- Preheat your BBQ grill or oven. If using a BBQ grill, start with the chicken breast-side down. Cook until the juices run clear and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (about 70°C). This usually takes about 45-60 minutes, depending on your cooking method and equipment.
- Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over the chicken.
