Famous around the globe, Tandoori Chicken is known for its succulent flesh and crispy, smoky exterior. This grilled rendition faithfully captures the true taste of the original, which is traditionally prepared in a clay tandoor oven. The key is a tangy yoghurt marinade that not only makes the chicken tender but also infuses it with a rich blend of spices, creating an absolutely melt-in-your-mouth experience.
