HealthyFoodRecipe - Tandoori Chicken was the obvious next recipe I wanted to share after the other chicken recipes have been So popular with you guys.

Tandoori Chicken is an Indian dish that’s traditionally marinated in yogurt and spices then roasted in a hot tandoor oven (a cylindrical shaped clay oven). It usually has a vibrant color because most often you’ll find it colored with turmeric, chili powders or even food coloring.

Since most of us don’t own a clay oven, with this recipe I cook it on the grill to mimic that same flavor. An electric or gas oven can be used as well.

Then for the color I stick with the spices for a natural vibrant color. No food coloring on this chicken.
