Thanksgiving Tandoori chicken
I thought that this Tandoori chicken was going to be spicy for me, but in fact it was perfect. You can make this recipe with single chicken breasts or do like we did using an entire chicken. It goes great with some naan, rice or just by itself. The chicken was first cooked in the oven, then later charcoaled a little bit more on the grill.
