How to Make Turmeric Chicken
- In a bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 2 ounces (60ml) lemon juice, 4 cloves minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon salt. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate for at least 3-4 hours, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
- Prepare the basting sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, and 1 ounce (30ml) lemon juice.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for approximately 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). During grilling, baste the chicken with the prepared sauce every 5 minutes, ensuring it's evenly coated.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions (optional).
