Grilled Tandoori Chicken image

There's no substitute for a Tandoor oven, but the grill provides an acceptable option. While this would be great as a main course, I often make these as a party appetizer using just the drumsticks. Great served with naan and raita. TIME DOES NOT INCLUDE MARINATING TIME!

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 lb chicken pieces - skin on, bone-in
MARINADE:
1 pt plain yogurt
1 Tbsp fresh ginger, grated or finely minced
1 1/2 Tbsp fresh garlic, minced
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp pepper
2 tsp salt

Steps:

  • 1. Make the marinade by whisking all the ingredients together.
  • 2. Score the chicken pieces with a sharp knife. Going about 1/2 inch deep, spaced about 1 inch apart. Place the chicken in a large ziploc bag. Add the marinade and massage until all the pieces are coated. Refrigerate for 6-10 hours.
  • 3. When ready to cook, preheat the grill. You'll need medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and scrape off any excess. Lightly coat the cooking grill with vegetable oil.
  • 4. Grill the chicken, turning, until the flesh is opaque and the juices run clear - about 30-40 minutes. (Note: the drumsticks may take longer, since they're so much thicker.)
