8 chicken thighs, or thighs and drumsticks
2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 or 5 garlic cloves, smashed
1 2-inch piece of ginger, peeled and chopped (or use 2 teaspoons dried ginger)
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Cayenne or chopped fresh chilies or crushed red chili flakes to taste, optional
3 cups plain yogurt

1
Heat oven to 300u00b0F. Put chicken in a 13x9 baking pan.
2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften and begin to color, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and ginger; cook and stir 2 minutes more. Stir in the ground spices and cook until just fragrant, no more than a minute. Stir in the yogurt, then spread mixture over chicken. Cover and put in oven; bake until chicken is just cooked through, about 1 1/2 hours. (You can prepare chicken up to a day ahead; if you are not going to grill or broil immediately, put whole pan in refrigerator after it cools down a bit.)
3
Heat grill to high heat. Remove chicken from yogurt sauce, scraping away any excess. Grill chicken, turning once or twice, until skin is crisp and charred and meat dries out a bit, about 15 minutes total. Serve hot or at room temperature.
