Tandoori Chicken II

SUBMITTED BY: DAKOTAGIRL      PHOTO BY: Meowz

"A paste made from a combination of spices and dried peppers is the secret to this spicy grilled chicken recipe. No long marinating time is required; the chicken can be prepared in the time it takes to get the coals hot."

If I make this again, I will add the yogurt and lemon juice. The chicken was tender, but rather dry.

I made this with yogurt instead of oil and vinegar, and marinated it overnight. It turned out really well. Everyone liked it.

I combine both tandoori I and tandoori II for my chicken Tandoori. I use the yoghurt and lemon juice from I and combine it with all the spices in this one. Then I leave it in the fridge for about 3-4 hours and place it in the oven for an hour. I tried it the first time with the vege oil and vinegar on top of everything I mentioned here (from I) and forgot it this time, and I liked it better this time. This is wonderful over some rice, tho you need to keep your rice moist, as there is no sauce. It might be better over buttered noodles, I don't know.
