Spicy Masala Chicken-Low Cholesterol

Submitted by Noo8820

"This is a really simple and wonderfully tasty chicken dish that I found in a low cholesterol cookbook while researching recipes to help manage my husbands cholesterol levels. This slightly sweet and sour tasting chicken can be served hot or cold,and goes well with salad,rice,potatoes or in naan pockets. Great for barbecues!! Pep time includes marinating time."

I really wanted to grill this, but it was 19 tonight, and I just couldn't stand it! So I baked for a while and then turned the broiler on to brown the thighs up. I didn't find this spicy at all, it was very moist and delicious. I will make this again on the grill.....think it would be very nice with the smoky taste! Thanks for sharing!

Awesome. I love the marinade- just a little spicy, but it has a pleasant sour-sweet as well. I had to broil the thighs as we do not have a grill, and I stuffed these into pita pockets with curried rice & peas, mango chutney, and yogurt. The pita sandwiches were unbelievably good!
