BBQ chicken marinated in spiced yoghurt

If you like spicy, Indian-style food and want an easy recipe for a party, try this BBQ chicken marinated in spiced yoghurt! You can make it as spicy as you like - just substitute  some or all of the  chilli powder with paprika,  particularly if  you want to serve it to children too. I used chicken thighs, but drumsticks and breast would work too. Serve it with a rice salad, chutney and/or grilled vegetables.
