Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp Sun & Spice Signature Curry Blend
  • 0.5 tsp Sun & Spice Bold Black Pepper
  • 4 chicken thighs or drumsticks
  • 150g natural yoghurt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 tsp salt

Method

  • In a large bowl, combine the yoghurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, Signature Curry Blend, Bold Black Pepper, and salt. Mix until smooth.
  • Score the chicken pieces with a sharp knife to help the marinade penetrate. Add to the bowl and coat thoroughly.
  • Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or ideally up to 4 hours for maximum flavour.
  • Preheat a grill, barbecue, or oven to 200°C (400°F). Cook the chicken for 18-20 minutes, turning halfway, until charred on the outside and cooked through.
  • Rest the chicken for 5 minutes before serving. The juices will redistribute, keeping the meat succulent.

    • Yoghurt tenderises the chicken while the curry blend infuses it with deep, aromatic spice flavour.
    • The marinade works equally well on lamb chops, paneer, or firm tofu for a vegetarian option.
    • Score the chicken deeply so the marinade reaches the centre and seasons the meat evenly.
