How to Make Barbecued Indian Spice Chicken

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup plain yogurt, 1 finely chopped jalapeño pepper, 1 tablespoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
  2. Rub the spice mixture generously all over 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs.
  3. Cover the chicken and refrigerate overnight for optimal flavor infusion.
