Afghan Chicken

This dish tenderizes, moistens, and extracts flavor from a long slow marinate in a garlic yogurt, so you wind up with a skinless grilled chicken that is as yummy as it is good for you.

We suggest you serve this with an Arab flat-bread or soft pita and fresh yogurt.

Crispy Chicken from the Freezer

Always good to make things in advance and have dinner ready in the freezer so you can just thaw it out and pop it in the oven.  I always omit the Worcestershire Sauce, because I am allergic to fish and it has anchovies in it.
