Step 1
Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels by pressing them firmly against each piece, removing surface moisture so the marinade sticks better.
Step 2
Pour the yogurt into a medium bowl, then add garam masala, cumin, paprika, and minced garlic until fully combined and uniform.
Step 3
Add the chicken pieces to the yogurt mixture and stir until each piece is completely coated on all sides.
Step 4
Set the oven to broil on high and position the rack 6 inches below the heat source; wait 5 minutes for the element to get hot.
Step 5
Spread the marinated chicken in a single layer on a sheet pan, spacing pieces about 1 inch apart so heat reaches all sides.
Step 6
Slide the pan under the broiler and cook for 12–14 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temp 165°F) and the exterior looks lightly charred.
