For the Yoghurt Marinade:

Add the chicken to the bowl, mix well to coat. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Preheat the grill, brush grates with oil, and cook the chicken, basting with the yoghurt marinade, over medium-high heat until well coloured and cooked all the way through, at least 25 minutes.
Serve on a sharing plate with some lemon wedges on the side.
For the Yoghurt Dip:
Combine all the yoghurt marinade ingredients in a bowl, then serve in a small dipping bowl alongside your chicken dish.
