Whole Roasted Tandoori Chicken image

Usually, the Tandoori chicken is made with cut up chicken. The original recipe stems from Mumtaz Khan at Mumtaz Paan House in Bradford, England, but has been modified to suit whole chicken. The marinade is quite hot and the amount of chilli can be modified. The recipe is good for 4 servings as an appetizer or 2 servings as a main course.
