Afghan Chicken

Filed under: Chicken,Cooking Recipes,Meats — Tags: , , , , , , — Chef @ 8:33 am

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.
