Grilled Yogurt Chicken With Mint

  1. In a shallow dish (non-aluminum) just large enough to hold the chicken breasts, combine the yogurt, olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, mint leaves, cumin, cayenne pepper, and salt; set aside.
  2. Pat the chicken pieces dry.
  3. Add the chicken to the yogurt marinade, turning to coat both sides; cover with plastic wrap and let marinate in the refrigerator at least 8 hours, preferably 24 hours.
  4. Preheat grill.
  5. Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade.
  6. Place chicken on prepared grill and proceed as follows:.
  7. For Barbecue with Charcoal: When coals are ready, spread them around the edge of the firebox (24" round) and keep a squirt bottle near the fire to put out flames.
  8. Turn the chicken often and don't let it burn.
  9. Breasts take about 25 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. (juices will run clear when cut with the tip of a knife).
  10. Do not close the lid on the barbecue.
  11. For Gas Barbecue (since you cannot maintain a hot fire without closing lid): Place prepared chicken onto hot grill.
  12. Cover barbecue with lid, open any vents, and cook approximately 20 to 25 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. (juices will run clear when cut with the tip of a knife); turning several times during barbecuing.
