Tandoori chicken

This is an easy recipe that doesn't take very long. The key is the marinade. The longer you can leave the marinade on the chicken, the tastier it will be.

Ingredients:
10 pieces of skinless legs and thighs or about 2 pounds
1 cup of no fat greek yogurt
2 tablespoons of olive oil
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
1 tablespoon of garlic
1.5 tsp of salt
2 tsp of paprika
0.5 tsp of tumeric powder
0.5 tsp of coriander powder
0.5 tsp of cumin powder
0.5 tsp of red chilli powder (optional)
0.5 tsp of ground ginger
a pinch of red food colour (optional)
coriander leaves to garnish

1. Clean and wash chicken, remove skin and make slits for marinade to soak into the chicken.

2. Add all ingredients to yogurt and mix well.

3. Add to chicken and coat well.
4. Marinate for at least an hour in the fridge if not overnight.

5. Bake on broiler rack at 375 degrees F for about 45 mins. and then grill for 10 mins or barbeque.

TIP: I separate my chicken and use the marinade without red chilli powder for the kids and then add the red chilli powder to the marinade for the rest of the chicken. I also take a bit of the yogurt marinade and leave aside to use as a dipping sauce.
