- Day before serving, marinate chicken. Prepare marinade: In food processor fitted with chopping blade, puree yogrut, garlic, gingerroot, paprika, coriander, cumin, pepper, and salt till smooth. In large bowl or possibly sealable plastic food-storage bag, combine chicken and marinade. Cover bowl or possibly seal food-storage bag and chill chicken to marinate overnight.
- Next day, heat oven to 500 F. Place chicken in large roasting pan. Brush chicken entirely with marinade left in bowl or possibly food-storage bag. Bake 15 min. Reduce oven temperature to 350 and continue baking 30 to 35 min or possibly till juices run clear when chcken is pierced with fork.
- Meanwhile, prepare Cucumber-Yogurt Sauce; In medium-size bowl, combine yogurt, cucumber, lime juice, mint, sugar and salt. Transfer sauce to serving bowl cover and chill till ready to serve.
- Transfer chicken to serving platter. Garnish with wedges of lime and mint leaves, if you like. Serve Cucumber-Yogurt Sauce on the side.
- NOTES : Lengthy marinating in fragrant spices and yogurt serves to tenderize the chicken and intensify the pungent flavor of the spices.
