Ingredients

Directions

    1. In a large bowl, whisk together yogurt, lime juice, garlic powder, ginger, cumin, salt, garam masala, turmeric and cayenne. Set aside ½ cup for the sauce.

    2. Add chicken thighs to mixture and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours.

    3. Heat grill to medium, turning one burner on low. Brush grill grate with oil.

    4. Remove chicken thighs from marinade, letting excess drip off, and place skin-side down over hot side of grill.

    5. Close lid and grill chicken for 5 minutes on medium heat, until skin is browned. Flip and grill 5 minutes more, until browned on second side. Move thighs away from any flare-ups until flares subside.

    6. Flip chicken thighs, skin side down, and transfer to low heat. Continue to grill 12 to 16 minutes, covered, until a thermometer inserted in the center of the chicken thighs, but not touching the bone, registers 165 degrees. Transfer chicken thighs to a plate.

    7. Grill naan over low heat 2 minutes per side until charred.

    8. Serve chicken thighs with reserved sauce and naan bread.
