Tandoori Chicken

Tandoori Chicken is a marinated chicken traditionally cooked in a tandoor; a cylindrical clay oven over charcoal or wood. We have pre-marinated the chicken, if you can cook over wood or charcoal your taste buds will thank you. We have provided oven instructions for those without tandoors. Squeeze fresh lemon over chicken after cooking and serve alongside raita with rice and dahl.
