Instructions
Mince (or chop in a food processor) the garlic, ginger, and peppers until they are a rough paste.
Combine paste with yogurt, lemon, oil, and spices.
Marinate chicken in yogurt mixture for at least an hour but preferably 4-6 hours.
When ready to cook, wipe off excess marinade and lay chicken on a foil-lined baking sheet.
You can either grill the chicken on high heat until charred and then move to low/indirect heat or broil for 6-10 minutes on high until charred, then finish cooking in a 350 degree oven.
