Uncle Bill's Barbecue Tandoori Chicken image

I had holidays in Fiji and really enjoyed the Indian style of cooking. Although the chefs would not give me the recipes for any of the food they prepared, I took great notice as to what they may have used and finally developed my own style of Indian cooking. This recipe is one of many I have developed and has been a big hit even with the East Indians in our area.

Time 5h25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 lbs skinless chicken pieces
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon finely grated fresh gingerroot
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon chili pepper
2 tablespoons plain yogurt
1/4 teaspoon dried coriander, leaf crumbled
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
6 whole saffron strands
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Remove all skin and fat particles from chicken pieces and discard.
  • Using a sharp knife, make several incisions about 1/4" deep in each chicken piece.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine tomato paste, ginger, minced garlic, pepper flakes, chili pepper, yogurt, coriander, cumin, salt curry powder, saffron strands and olive oil; mix well.
  • Add chicken pieces to mixture and turn to coat on all sides.
  • Cover and marinate chicken for at least 5 hours or overnight; keep in the refrigerator.
  • Spray barbecue grill with a no-stick vegetable spray.
  • Preheat barbecue to medium-hight heat.
  • Place chicken pieces directly on grill.
  • Barbecue on medium-high heat for 20 to 25 minutes, turning once.
  • While barbecuing, baste chicken with any left over sauce.
  • To ensure that the chicken is fully cooked, take a knife and cut into the thickest piece of chicken; there should be no pink showing.
  • Serve hot or cold.
  • Saffron strands may be purchased at most super markets.
  • I do not use saffron powder.
  • If desired, leave the skin on the chicken pieces.
  • You may also make this recipe using all chicken breasts, (boneless or bone-in).
