I made this the other night — delish! The chicken was tasty and moist, and there’s very little fat.

To make the chicken: In a large, zip-top bag, place the spices and buttermilk. Mix well. Add chicken. Press chicken around to evenly coat. Leave in fridge while you prepare the rest.
To make cucumber sauce: Mix cuce, yogurt, and mint.
Preheat outside grill or grilling appliance, or if you’re using the broiler, preheat to about medium-high heat.
Remove chicken from marinade and discard leftover liquid. Place chicken on a clean grill and cook evenly on both sides, about 5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the chicken. Serve with cucumber sauce.
