Diet - Spicy Yogurt Drummies

Plain yogurt makes a great marinade. It tenderizes meat while keeping it moist and succulent. These spicy yogurt drummies are great for get-togethers!

Ingredients:
2 T. hot water
1/2 tsp. saffron
1/2 C. nonfat or low-fat plain yogurt
1 onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, finely diced
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
2 T. lemon juice
1 T. honey
1 T. extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
8 skinless chicken drummies

Directions:
Place hot water in a small bowl and crumble saffron over it. Steep for 5 minutes. In a separate, shallow dish, combine yogurt, onion, garlic, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, honey, oil, salt, cumin and cinnamon. Stir in the saffron water. Add drummies and coat well. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 12 hours. When ready, preheat oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and set an oiled rack on top. Place the drummies on the rack and bake until the chicken is golden brown on the outside and no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes.
