For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of smoked paprika to the marinade. If you don't have a grill, you can bake the chicken in a preheated oven at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for about 35-40 minutes, or until cooked through. Adjust the amount of chili powder to suit your spice preference. Serve with a cooling garlic yogurt sauce by combining Greek yogurt, crushed garlic, finely chopped chives, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
