DIRECTIONS

If chicken pieces are large, remove tenders or slice thick pieces in half horizontally (butterflied), then cut into two pieces. Combine olive oil, curry powder, garam masala, onion powder, paprika and garlic salt in a self-closing plastic bag; add chicken and rotate bag to mix well. Marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes, or longer for stronger flavor.
Mix together yogurt sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Refrigerate.
Preheat grill. Remove chicken from marinade. Grill over medium heat, turning occasionally, about 10-12 minutes or until done. Serve with cucumber yogurt sauce.

*Tip

Substitute 2 teaspoons McCormick® Gourmet Collection® Red Curry Powder for Indian Curry Powder, if desired.

I made this one day trying to use up some fresh mint we'd purchased before it went bad. I blackened the chicken instead of grilling, otherwise prepared it exactly as is here. The dish is delicious. One note: you should definitely mix up the sauce at least 2-3 hours before hand and let it sit in the fridge until you are ready to serve. Also, I felt the sauce, although very good, needed some acid. Maybe a tablespoon of lemon or lime juice.
