Grilled Tandoori-Style Chicken Thighs

Tandoori chicken is a popular dish in India, normally cooked in a cylindrical clay oven called a tandoor. Since a tandoor oven can be a little hard to find in the U.S., we adapted the recipe for the grill to give it the traditional charred barbecue flavor.

The best things about grilling chicken thighs are the crispy skin, the slight char and the super moist and juicy meat. Tandoori chicken brings out all these tasty benefits, plus a flavorful yogurt marinade and curried spice blend that goes great with vegetable biryani, raita, cucumber salad and naan.
