And I think Marinating chicken in yogurt not only gives it big flavor, but it also tenderizes the meat.<br /> In India we usually use yogurt to marinate chicken. But we use sunflower seed oil for cooking n deep frying except salad dressing....that is always olive oil.

My family loved it, too; the lone surviving piece of chicken did not make it past 3pm the next day.<BR/><BR/>I made the marinade in the space between the original posting of the recipe and its modification so it was a tad more like a yogurt brine than a marinade but salt is not a forbidden spice in my house and we loved the dish all the same.<BR/><BR/>I always had a knack for cooking and, while I don't know how you feel about TV chefs, about two years ago Alton Brown really got me going down cooking street. The style of cooking you present in your blog reminds me of AB alot. <BR/><BR/>I am looking forward to trying more of your recipes and if I'm ever in the area even trying one of your classes.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the recipe,<BR/><BR/><BR/>GaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422713.post-69425148062267278922007-09-07T19:38:00.000-04:002007-09-07T19:38:00.000-04:00Hi Helen,I tried this!I am having a get together t...Hi Helen,<BR/><BR/>I tried this!<BR/><BR/>I am having a get together this weekend and I usually make regular BBQ chicken with sauce and/or Jerk Chicken on the grill. However, this time I figured I will try something else. I found this recipe by searching on google and tested it last weekend. My wife does not like the taste of cilantro so I used mint( glad you gave an alternative). I used a whole chicken cut up so I had to go up on spices and yogurt portions but other than that I followed the recipe you provided Helen.<BR/><BR/>I have to say it was excellent! my wife also loved it! This was the most TENDER and moist chicken I think I ever had. I think it will be a hit this weekend if I can make it the same again. I am using two family packs of chicken this time to accomodate for the 4 couples that will be here. <BR/><BR/>I will let you know how it went.<BR/><BR/>DaveUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14819060928663073414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422713.post-60394612821203317742007-03-14T23:52:00.000-04:002007-03-14T23:52:00.000-04:00Mmmm...sounds like a great recipe.

If using table salt, you'd have to cut the amounts in half to get the same amount of sodium, and if using Morton's Kosher, you might still go about 30% lighter. And then, of course, there is adjustment for personal taste. <BR/><BR/>Your comments are very useful in improving the recipe. I'll try to be more clear next time.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>-HelenHelenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12271344371852988017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422713.post-38109505730181340732007-03-08T09:18:00.000-05:002007-03-08T09:18:00.000-05:00Hi Grace,Glad you tried the chicken :) Next time,...Hi Grace,<BR/><BR/>Glad you tried the chicken :) Next time, just cut down on salt some.

Of course, we also often cook chicken with sauces, which helps make the timing even a little more flexible.<BR/><BR/>Pamela, another use for plain yogurt is to mix some with about an equal amount of dijon mustard and stir in chopped dill until it gets "dill-y" enough. This makes an excellent low fat or non-fat [depending on choice of yogurt] sauce to spoon over pan seared salmon fillets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422713.post-22326525387396428572007-03-02T09:36:00.000-05:002007-03-02T09:36:00.000-05:00Nice picture!Nice picture!Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00489496856755184870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422713.post-55607051210150534242007-03-02T07:53:00.000-05:002007-03-02T07:53:00.000-05:00Hi Pam,Your chicken with goat cheese sounds awesom...Hi Pam,<BR/><BR/>Your chicken with goat cheese sounds awesome! It's interesting that you say that chicken is low-cal. To me it's as high-cal as it gets, because unless it's dark meat and unless it has skin, it's not worth eating (to me). That's why we don't eat it much -- if I am going to eat this much fat, I'd rather have beef, pork, duck, etc.<BR/><BR/>About yogurt... if you are ever stuck with a ton of plain yogurt and don't feel like eating it, you can easily turn it into vanilla yogurt by adding a little vanilla and sugar (let it sit a few hours before eating so that sugar can dissolve). Or my favorite is to substitute maple syrup for sugar -- yum. <BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>-HelenHelenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12271344371852988017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422713.post-39755834779473466672007-03-01T22:40:00.000-05:002007-03-01T22:40:00.000-05:00We often serve chicken in my house because (a) it'...We often serve chicken in my house because (a) it's low-cal and (b) both of my kids will eat it.<BR/><BR/>I'm definitely going to try your recipe. One of the problems I have is that we don't eat plain yogurt, so when I buy a tub of yogurt, it goes bad before we've used 1/3 of it. A marinade will use a fair amount.<BR/><BR/><BR/>As an asside, last night I was making sauted chicken cutlets with a vegie sauce (onion, celery, broccoli and diced tomatoes) over spagetti. As I was finishing the sauce, I went to the fridge to get some cream to thicken it, and a goat cheese remnant caught my eye, so I grabbed that that instead.<BR/><BR/>Wow! It was like chicken parmesan [one of my guilty pleasures], without so much cheese.<BR/><BR/>Serve with green beans on the side.<BR/><BR/>Nice and simple...<BR/><BR/>PamPamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14706036547768116559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422713.post-33267835664696298462007-03-01T22:29:00.000-05:002007-03-01T22:29:00.000-05:00Yes marinating chicken with yogurt is necessary.
