Number Of Ingredients 8

Salt and pepper
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 (about 3 pounds) chicken, cut-up
1 (about 3/4 pound) cucumber, peeled, seeded, and chopped
1/4 cup whole-milk plain yogurt
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, or parsley
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. In a small bowl, mix 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and cinnamon. Sprinkle on the chicken. Put chicken, skin side down, on a broiler pan, and broil about 6 inches from the heat for 15 minutes. Turn chicken, and broil until skin is crisp and brown, about 15 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together cucumber, yogurt, sour cream, cilantro, cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Serve chicken hot, with raita on the side.
