Its the gourmet in you! I usually get the butcher to skin and bone leg quarters for me for grilling.

Breasts are so uninteresting (gawd, when did i turn into cal rick?)

have you tried a tandoori marinade for grilled chicken? you wont regret it... until you have to clean the damn grill.

Plain yoghurt
lemon juice
Cumin
ground coriander
Tumeric
fenugreek (this stuff is vital for that "indian flavour")
ground ginger
paprika
salt
cayenne chili powder
red food colouring (optional but it does give a pleasing effect)

you can play about with proportions to suit your taste and volume of chicken but generally 1 part of each, going easy on the cayenne.

skinned and boned chicken leg quarters, make a few slashes, prick all over with a fork to make sure the marinade penetrates. Marinade for at least one day - two is better, but no more than that.

there will be a clean up job after as the yoghurt will crust and stick to the grill, so when grilling a number of different meats, put these on last!

serve with a mint riata (mint sauce & yoghurt for a quick fix)
