For sauce: Combine the yogurt, green onions, lime juice, lemon juice, garlic, honey, ancho powder, salt and pepper in a small mixing bowl and refrigerate, covered, for 2 hours or up to 1 day. Serve at room temperature. Makes about 2-1/2 cups.

For marinade: Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk until smooth.

For chicken: Place the chicken in a large, shallow pan or baking dish, cover with the marinade and turn to coat completely. Refrigerate, covered, up to 2 hours.


Preheat a gas or charcoal grill.

Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess. (Discard the used marinade). Season with salt and pepper. Grill skin-side down until golden brown, 5-6 minutes. Turn and grill flesh-side down until cooked through, 10-12 minutes.

Arrange the chicken on a serving platter and serve the yogurt sauce on the side.
