Tandoori Barbecue Chicken RecipeThis Tandoori Barbecue Chicken Recipe is exactly what it says - great on the Barbecue grill. The name tandoori gets its name from the type of oven traditionally used to cook the food – the tandoor. Tandoor ovens are made of clay and fired by wood or charcoal and get extremely hot. The idea behind cooking this way is that the tandoori marinade quickly crisps up and forms a shell so as not to let the juices of the meat out. It makes for a fast cooking process and beautifully succulent meat. Barbecue grills do not work the same way as a tandoori oven so my recipe is adapted to reflect the different approach to cooking but do make sure you have a good base of hot coals ready. The tandoori marinade requires at least 8 hours working its magic so it’s better to make up the night before. If you’ve never tried Indian food then this is a great way to start. Indian cuisine is the most popular style of food in the UK these days curry on a barbecue is difficult. So here I go with my next best thing to ensure even the greatest curry aficionado can enjoy a barbecue too. Tandoori Marinade Ingredients:-
Traditionally the colouring should be orangey / red so play around with this part of the mix – have some fun! Method:- Throw all the ingredients into a bowl and stir together to make up the tandoori marinade mix. Drop in the chicken joints, cover and refrigerate overnight. The next day, make sure the barbecue grill is good and hot and go for it! Remember; prick the chicken with a skewer, if the juice runs clear then it’s ready. Related Pages:
