Mix all spices with yogurt and butter to make marinating sauce.
Prick the chicken and apply the sauce. Cover chicken and marinate overnight inside a refrigerator (at least 4 hrs).
Grill the chicken in regular way. (For better result, apply melted butter to the chicken just before you grill.)
Cook chicken until brownish (or way you prefer)
