This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made a big batch of tandoori chicken and then used the leftovers to make chicken salad, wraps, and tacos.

This recipe is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still really enjoyed it. I think I'll try using less chili powder next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chicken didn't turn out as flavorful as I had hoped. I think I'll try marinating the chicken for longer next time.
