I love the halal chicken you get from the street cart. I don't know what they put in it, crack or something, that makes it taste so good. I've been tinkering with my own recipe at home. Just from the smell and taste I know there's cumin, coriander, turmeric, and paprika in it. I also added some onion powder, garlic powder, white pepper, chili powder, a little curry powder, a touch of sugar, and a some salt. The chicken is marinated in a mixture of all of these spices and yogurt. The yogurt makes the white breast meat so tender and juicy.
