This Tandoori Chicken is a must have recipe! It's just as good as what you'd get at an Indian restaurant and it's so easy to make! Chicken thighs are soaked in a creamy, well spiced, yogurt based marinade and then cooked on the grill to get that traditional char.
What is Tandoori Chicken?
Tandoori Chicken is an Indian dish that's traditionally marinated in yogurt and spices then roasted in a hot tandoor oven (a cylindrical shaped clay oven). It usually has a vibrant color because most often you'll find it colored with turmeric, chili powders or even food coloring.
Since most of us don't own a clay oven, with this recipe I cook it on the grill to mimic that same flavor. An electric or gas oven can be used as well (see notes below for oven method).
Then for the color I stick with the spices for a natural vibrant color. No food coloring on this chicken.
