Good Frickin' Paprika Chicken - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    6 tablespoons plain yogurt
    3 cloves garlic, crushed
    3 tablespoons ground paprika
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 tablespoon hot chile paste (such as sambal oelek)
    1 pinch cayenne pepper
    1 (5 pound) whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
    salt
    1/4 cup olive oil
    2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
    1 tablespoon ketchup
    1/8 teaspoon hot chile paste (such as sambal oelek)
    1 pinch paprika
    salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
    Whisk together yogurt, garlic, 3 tablespoons paprika, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon hot chile paste, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl.
    Mix in chicken pieces and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 3 hours.
    Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
    Remove chicken from the bag and transfer to a plate or baking sheet lined with paper towels. Pat chicken pieces dry with more paper towels. Season with salt.
    Combine 1/4 cup olive oil, sherry vinegar, ketchup, 1/8 teaspoon hot chile paste, pinch paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
    Grill chicken, skin-side down, on the preheated grill for 4 minutes with grill lid closed.
    Turn chicken and grill with lid closed until well-browned and meat is no longer pink in the center, about 6 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C).
    Spoon sherry vinegar mixture over cooked chicken and serve.
