Grilled Chicken Thighs Tandoori image

Moist, luscious, and delicious. Just the right blend of spices make this chicken dish one of my most-requested. Great hot or cold. If using thighs with skin, you can put over direct medium heat for the last few minutes to crisp skin.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 (6 ounce) containers plain yogurt
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon ground cloves
2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground coriander
16 chicken thighs
olive oil spray

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, stir together yogurt, salt, pepper, cloves, and ginger. Mix in garlic, paprika, cumin, cinnamon, and coriander. Set aside.
  • Rinse chicken under cold water, and pat dry with paper towels. Place chicken in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour yogurt mixture over chicken, press air out of bag, and seal. Turn the bag over several times to distribute marinade. Place bag in a bowl, and refrigerate 8 hours, or overnight, turning bag occasionally.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for direct medium heat.
  • Remove chicken from bag, and discard marinade. With paper towels, wipe off excess marinade. Spray chicken pieces with olive oil spray.
  • Place chicken on the grill, and cook about 2 minutes. Turn, and cook 2 minutes more. Then arrange the chicken to receive indirect heat, and cook approximately 35 to 40 minutes, to an internal temperature of 180 degrees F.

I'm allergic to yogurt, so I used coconut milk in the marinade instead. It was still really good!

The chicken was a bit dry, but the marinade was flavorful. I think I'll try it again with a different cooking method.

This recipe is a keeper! The chicken was so flavorful and juicy, and the marinade was easy to make. I served it with basmati rice and a side of cucumber raita, and it was a delicious meal.

These grilled chicken thighs were a hit at our last barbecue! The tandoori marinade was flavorful and juicy, and the chicken cooked perfectly on the grill. We'll definitely be making this recipe again.
