Instructions
For the spice rub, mix all the spices together in a resealable container (you'll have a lot of extra!). Mix about 3 Tbsp of the rub with the oil to make a paste. Rub a thin layer of the paste on the chicken, then grill on each side until slightly charred and cooked through. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
For the yogurt sauce, pulse all the ingredients together in a food processor until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Serve the chicken with a large dollop of the yogurt sauce on top (and a serving of the Grilled Tomato Jam if desired), alongside a salad or as suggested above in the notes.
Serves 4-6.
