Instructions
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
 - Combine the yogurt with the spices and zest of lime in a large bowl.
 - Cut the chicken into large chunks and season liberally with salt and pepper. Add to the yogurt mixture and toss to coat evenly. Put a small wire rack on a baking sheet or a slotted broiler pan. Arrange the chicken on the rack or slotted pan and roast until charred at the edges and juices run clear, about 15 minutes.
 - Combine the apple, tomatoes and scallions in a serving bowl. Add the lime juice, oil, and salt and pepper, to taste, and toss to combine.
 - Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and serve with apple-tomato topping and warm bread.
