Yogurt marinade for chunks of chicken breast, and spices. Why?!


Question: Yogurt marinade for chunks of chicken breast, and spices!. Why!?
I know that in many cultures, including Indian, they marinate chicken in plain yogurt and spices!.

Why!?

What is it in milk products that is good for marinating chicken!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
The yogurt contains enzymes that break down the cell structure of meat, so that seasonings can enter more quickly!. Soaking for too long in yogurt, or even Papaya, for the same reason, will cause your meat to obtain a mushy exterior!.

Using a yogurt based marinade, you may tenderize chunks or strips of tough meats quickly, making them easier to chew, and easier to digest!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The enzymes in the yogurt tenderize the meat, and draw the flavor of the spices throughout!.

Not to mention it makes a delicious crust when grilled!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

yogurt is heavy and holds the spices well!. Think of marinade like italian dressing it doesnt hold that well!. We millk and yogurt to marinate wild game as it takes some of the game flavor outWww@FoodAQ@Com
