You can cook this dish on a Barbeque or a ribbed grill pan, you can even do it in the oven (on a grill over a pan of water). It's up to you, the flavour is great whichever way you choose to cook it.
What You'll Need
- Two small Chickens - about 2 lbs. each - cut into quarters
- A small tub of Greek Yogurt

How To Make It

3. Grind them in a pestle and mortar and add them to the yogurt with the cinnamon
4. Chop the coriander and add half to the marinade
5. Add the chopped garlic
6. Add the tomato paste and the honey - mix well
7. Now - take your chicken quarters and score the flesh deeply with a sharp Knife
8. Turn the chicken over in the marinade until they are all well covered
