Recipe Notes

  • chopping board
  • chef knives

Tips/Tricks

  • the more you leave the chicken marinate in the yoghurt the moister/juicier it will become.  I did mine in the morning and cooked it 8hrs later
  • tabbouleh can be made in advance and if you make a little extra it's a great work lunch the next day!
  • try cut the chicken into similar sized pieces for even cooking time
  • don't have a BBQ then you can use a grill pan to get the char on the outside and then finish in the oven for 6-8 minutes
