Chicken Legs Marinated in Yogurt and Spices

• 4 large garlic cloves, minced
• 1 1/2 tablespoons finely grated ginger
• Sea salt
• 2 cups plain low-fat yogurt
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing

• 6 pounds chicken legs, cut into drumsticks and thighs

1. In a large bowl, using a wooden spoon, mash the garlic and ginger with 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt to a coarse paste.
2. Stir in the yogurt and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, then add the cumin, coriander, crushed red pepper, paprika, turmeric, pepper and cinnamon.
3. Remove the skin from the chicken thighs and using a sharp knife, make 3 to 4 deep slashes in the thighs and drumsticks on both sides.
4. Add the chicken to the marinade, toss to coat and refrigerate overnight.
5. Light a grill.
6. Remove the chicken from the marinade and scrape some of it off.
7. Lightly brush the chicken with olive oil and season with salt.
8. Grill over a medium-high fire, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and the juices run clear when the chicken is pierced with a knife, 25 to 30 minutes.
9. Transfer to a platter and serve.
