Grilled Indian-Spiced Butter ChickenRomulo Yanes

The great thing about the marinade in this recipe is that the thick yogurt helps it stick to the chicken perfectly, so you get its full flavor in the final dish. Regular basting with ghee produces a tender, melt-in-your-mouth result.

Cooks' notes:

· To get 1/3 cup thick yogurt, drain 2/3 cup regular plain yogurt in a fine-mesh sieve, chilled, at least 8 hours. · If you aren't able to grill outdoors, chicken can be broiled on rack of a broiler pan 3 inches from heat. Drizzle some of ghee on chicken and broil, turning and drizzling with ghee every 5 minutes, until chicken is cooked through, about 25 minutes. · Chicken can be marinated up to 3 days. · Ghee, covered and chilled, keeps up to 1 month. Melt before using.
