Tandoori Chicken image

A tandoor is a hole dug in the ground surrounded by hot coals to create an oven. And one of the most well-known chicken dishes is one that was created in this type of Indian oven. Don't worry - you don't have to dig a hole in your backyard to make this version! Serve this with Raita. It's a cool way to take the edge off the hot pepper sauce in the chicken.
