Directions
Skin chicken pieces, score with sharp knife. In non-metallic bowl, mix all ingredients. Marinate chicken in mixture overnight, turning to marinate evenly.
Cook on brazier BBQ so that flames have direct contact with chicken (ie not on a hot-plate), or in a vertical grill on maximum heat. The object here is to emulate the tandoori as much as possible in cooking with intense, dry heat.
Serve with rice, naan, lettuce, onion rings, cucumber slices and lemon wedges.
