1. Whisk Ingredients
Take a medium-sized bowl and whisk together the plain whole-milk yogurt, minced garlic, grated fresh ginger, minced fresh cilantro, grated lemon zest, curry powder, and sugar. Whisking these ingredients ensures that the flavors are evenly distributed, creating a smooth and well-blended mixture.
2. Season Glaze
Season the glaze with salt and pepper to your taste. Taste the glaze and adjust the seasoning if needed. This step is crucial as the salt and pepper enhance the overall flavor profile of the glaze.
3. Reserve Glaze
Reserve half of the glaze in a separate container. This prevents any cross-contamination and ensures you have fresh glaze to serve with your chicken later.
4. Use Glaze While Grilling
As you grill the bone-in chicken breasts, brush them with the glaze during the last 10-15 minutes of cooking. This allows the glaze to caramelize slightly without burning, adding depth and richness to the chicken. Save the reserved glaze to serve alongside the grilled chicken for an extra burst of flavor.
Use a combination of 1 tablespoon tandoori masala and 1 teaspoon smoked paprika in place of curry powder. Add a few tablespoons of finely chopped cilantro and mint. Ideal for grilled chicken thighs or drumsticks.
Swap chicken with firm fish fillets like salmon or cod. Adjust grilling time to about 3-4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillet.
Substitute chicken with large shrimp, peeled and deveined. Marinate and grill for about 2-3 minutes per side, just until they turn pink and opaque.
Swap curry powder for 2 tablespoons of chipotle chili powder. Replace lemon juice with lime juice. Serve with grilled corn and avocado salad. This works great for chicken, fish, or even grilled vegetables.
