Ingredients
    6 large chicken legs (with thighs attached, 3 to 3 1/2 lb.)

    1 carton unflavored yogurt
Preparation
    Rinse the chicken legs and pat dry.
    Mash the ginger together with the allspice, pepper and garlic.
    Add the lemon juice to make a paste. Lift skin on chicken and spread 1/2 of the mixture over the chicken flesh.
    Brush the remaining paste over the chicken skin.
    Barbecue.
    Arrange the chicken about 6-inches above hot coals.
    Cook, turning frequently, until the meat near the bone is no longer pink when cut with a knife, about 45 minutes.
    Transfer chicken to platter and serve hot with white rice and cold yogurt to spoon over the individual servings.
