    1 c. (8 oz.) plain low-fat yogurt
    1 Tbsp. grated peeled fresh gingerroot

    1 1/2 tsp. finely minced garlic
    1 1/4 tsp. coriander and ground cumin
    3/4 tsp. ground red pepper (cayenne)

    With a small, sharp knife, cut 1/2 inch deep slits about 1 inch apart in chicken.
    Place chicken in 1 gallon size food storage bag.
    Add lemon juice.
    Toss chicken to coat with juice. Mix the remaining ingredients in a small bowl.
    Pour into bag to coat chicken.
    Rub marinade into slits, or use hands to coat chicken.
    Refrigerate at least 6 hours or preferably overnight. Line a broiler pan with foil for easy cleanup.
