This tender marinated chicken gets its zing from chili powder and cumin. For variety, add a tablespoon of tomato paste to the marinade or replace the chili powder with chopped green chiles. It's a surefire hit of summer cookouts. —Naheed Saleem, Stanford, Connecticut

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup fat-free yogurt
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh gingerroot
  • 6 bone-in chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Directions

  1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, oil, ginger, sugar and seasonings; add chicken. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
  2. Drain and discard marinade. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack.
  3. Prepare the grill for indirect heat, using a drip pan. Place chicken over drip pan and grill chicken, covered, bone side down over indirect medium heat for 2 minutes. Turn; grill 25-35 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 170°.
