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
  • Cilantro finely chopped

Cilantro Yogurt Sauce

  • 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped cilantro
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • salt and pepper to taste

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.
  • Sear chicken for 5 minutes per side, drop heat to low, and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes per side, or until chicken reached an internal temp of 165 degrees.
  • Remove chicken to rest. Turn grill back up to high, and sear tomatoes and lemons until grill marks appear and tomatoes start to soften.
  • Add chicken, grilled tomatoes, and grilled lemons to a platter. Dust generously with chopped cilantro and top with large dollops of yogurt sauce.
