Summary
This Tandoori Chicken is just as good as what you'd get at an Indian restaurant and it's so easy to make! Chicken thighs are soaked in a creamy, well spiced, yogurt based marinade and then cooked on the grill to get that traditional char.
Ingredients
- 3 lbs bone-in or boneless skinless chicken thighs, (trimmed of excess fat)
- 1 (5.3 oz) container fat-free Greek yogurt ((heaping 1/2 cup))
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil or olive oil, (plus more for grilling)
- 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp minced fresh garlic
- 2 Tbsp peeled and minced fresh ginger
- 1 Tbsp paprika ((not smoked!))
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp ground coriander
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
