This classic Indian dish has a healthy dose of spice. Its red coloring and incredible aroma are the results of paprika, cumin and coriander.

Ingredients

2 3 lb. chickens, cut up
1 pint nonfat yogurt
1/2 C. Frank's RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce
1 Tbs. grated peeled fresh ginger
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbs. paprika
1 Tbs. cumin seeds, crushed or 1 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground coriander

Directions

Remove skin and visible fat from chicken pieces. Rinse with cold water and pat dry. Randomly poke chicken all over with tip of sharp knife. Place chicken in resealable plastic food storage bags or large glass bowl. Combine yogurt, Frank's RedHot Sauce, ginger, garlic, paprika, cumin, salt and coriander in small bowl; mix well. Pour over chicken pieces, turning pieces to coat evenly. Seal bags or cover bowl and marinate in refrigerator 1 hour or overnight.

Place chicken on oiled grid, reserving marinade. Grill over medium coals 45 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink near bone and juices run clear, turning and basting often with marinade. (Do not baste during last 10 minutes of cooking.) Discard any remaining marinade. Serve warm.

Yield: 6-8 servings
