Directions

In the food processor place onion, red pepper, Anaheim pepper, radishes, garlic, ginger, horseradish and olive oil and pulse to mince to almost a puree.

In a large sauce pan add all the remain ingredients with the exception of the chicken and yogurt, whisk to combine. Place on a medium heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, once hot, add the ingredients from the food processor and stir to combine and simmer for an additional 20 to 30 minutes until thick. Remove from heat and let cool.

Place yogurt in a large bowl, then add the sauce and whisk to combine. Rinse and pat dry the chicken, then place the chicken into the bowl making sure all pieces are covered. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees - Yes we need to par bake the chicken prior to BBQ. Place chicken on a rack covered baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes.

Fire up the BBQ

Return chicken to bowl with the sauce for re-coating.

Place chicken on BBQ and cook until crispy and charred. About 15 minutes or so, brushing on sauce during the process.

Remove from BBQ and let rest before serving.
