Zing-a-Ling Chicken

Yoghurt and spices enhance the flavour and tenderness of chicken, making them an excellent choice for a marinade.

Yoghurt acts as a binding agent for spices, ensuring an even distribution of flavours and the fat content in yogurt also helps to carry the aromatic compounds of the spices deeper into the chicken, infusing it with rich and robust tastes.

Additionally, yoghurt-based marinades can help prevent the chicken from drying out during cooking. The coating of yoghurt forms a protective barrier, which locks in moisture and keeps the chicken tender and juicy.

Enjoy this easy to make “have to more” chicken dish.
