Number Of Ingredients 22

1 pound chicken thighs
4 pieces Naan Bread
1 piece sliced cucumber
1 piece sliced tomato
1 piece sliced red onion
1 head shredded romaine Lettuce
1/2 cup yogurt or sour cream
1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger
2 cloves minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground corriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 piece lime zest
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
6 ounces yogurt or sour cream
1 tablespoon chopped mint
1 teaspoon cumin

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients together. Add the chicken to a zip-top bag. Pour in the marinade mixture and massage the chicken until coated well. Place the chicken in the refrigerator. Marinate at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • When firing up the grill, remember tandoori is cooked at very high temperatures, but your barbecue grill will suffice. Start with a high temperature and keep it up during the cooking only lifting the lid to place the meat on the grill and turn it over.
  • Preheat the grill and set up for both direct and indirect grilling, by placing coals to one side of the grill. When the coals are ready, brush the rack with oil to prevent the chicken from sticking. Place the chicken thighs directly over coals for about 3 to 4 minutes each side until seared, then move to the other side of the grill. Turn chicken, as needed to keep from burning and to get grill marks until chicken is cooked through and tender, until done (about 20 to 30 minutes total). Add squeezes of fresh lime juice between turns. When the chicken is done, remove from the grill and allow it to rest.
  • While the grill is still hot, place the Naan bread on the grate directly over the coals for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side.
  • Top the Naan bread with 3 to 4 chicken tenders, sliced cucumbers, red onion, tomato, chopped cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Top with the yogurt sauce and enjoy!

This recipe is a disgrace to Indian cuisine. It should be removed from the internet.

Avoid this recipe at all costs! It's the worst tandoori chicken recipe I've ever tried.

This recipe was a complete disaster. I followed the instructions exactly and it still didn't turn out right.

I was disappointed with the results of this recipe. The chicken was dry and the naan bread was undercooked.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but I'm sure it would be perfect for someone who likes their food hot.

I had some trouble getting the chicken to cook evenly, but overall the dish was still good.

The naan bread was a little too doughy for my taste, but the chicken was delicious.

I've made this dish several times now and it's always a hit. It's my go-to recipe for chicken tikka masala.

The yogurt sauce was a great addition to the dish. It added a nice tanginess that complemented the chicken and naan.

This dish was amazing! The chicken was so tender and flavorful, and the naan bread was perfect. I will definitely be making this again.
