Tandoori chicken aka chicken kabab is one of the popular non-veg appetizer which everybody loves. It is a starter recipe, prepared with chicken and mix of spices. The chicken is marinated with special Indian spices and grilled into clay tandoor to prepare tandoori chicken. Grilled chicken in clay tandoor or on coal grill gives a nice aroma and smoky taste to the chicken. You can also grill it in conventional oven though it won’t have the same flavor. The grilling is very easy however a planning is required as you need to marinate the chicken either overnight or at least for 6 to 7 hours. Plan ahead if you want to enjoy your weekend with this grilled chicken.
