Grilled Tandoori Chicken

Ingredients:

1 cup Yogurt

6 tbsp tandoori masala

10 drops of red food colouring

15 pieces of chicken upper legs and lower legs

1 lemon

salt and pepper

Methods:

1. Peel the skin off of the chicken and make several deep cuts into the meat (to the bone) so that the marinade can penetrate the meat more easily

2. Marinade the chicken with lemon juice (tenderizer) and salt

3. Mix the yogurt, tandoori masala and red food colouring with salt and pepper. You can adjust hte red food colouring to your liking. I notice that the chicken gets darker red as it cooks. This is the colour of my chicken before I cooked it.

4. Marinade the chicken in the fridge for at least 5 hours or overnight is best.

5. Before cooking, take the chicken out of the fridge for 1 hour so that the chicken can come to room temperature

6. Grill over a charcoal barbecue or put it in a 375 degree Fahrenheit oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until just cooked.
