Servings 6 servings
Ingredients
Tandoori Chicken
- 4 chicken leg quarters, skin removed
- 2 packets (6 oz.) Sukhi's Tandoori Marinade
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 handful cilantro chopped
- 2 lemons, halved diced
- 2 medium-sized tomatoes halved

- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic

Instructions
- Using a sharp knife, make 4-5 deep parallel cuts along the top of the leg quarters.
- Place Sukhi’s Tandoori Marinade and 1 cup Greek yogurt in a large bowl and mix well.
- Remove a spoonful of marinade, place in separate small bowl with all of the cilantro yogurt sauce ingredients, whisk, and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Add chicken to bowl, making sure to evenly coat every piece with marinade, including inside all the chicken cuts.
- Place chicken in fridge for 6-24 hours.
- Remove chicken from fridge 30-60 minutes before grilling. Remove excess marinade and pre-heat grill to medium-high.

Grilled Double Yogurt Tandoori Chicken is delicious, I will make it for the whole family tonight
This is special, originating from ancient salt pans in Trapani and Marsala. Seasoning enthusiasts love it for its range of potential uses. It’s flavorful with zero bitterness, adds a unique brininess to any dish, and is great for projects like curing olives. Its coarseness comes from a unique drying method that combines crystal water, wind, and sun.
