This recipe for grilled tandoori chicken thighs has just the right blend of spices. The chicken is moist, delicious, and tastes great hot or cold. If using thighs with skin, you can put over direct medium heat for the last few minutes to crisp.
Ingredients
- 2 (6 ounce) containers plain yogurt
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- 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
Directions
Step 1
Stir yogurt, salt, ginger, pepper, and cloves together in a bowl. Mix in garlic, paprika, cumin, cinnamon, and coriander. Set aside.
Step 2
Place chicken in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour yogurt mixture over chicken, press air out of the bag, and seal. Turn the bag over several times to distribute marinade. Place the bag in a bowl, and refrigerate 8 hours, or overnight, turning the bag occasionally.
Step 3
Preheat an outdoor grill for direct medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
Step 4
Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade. Spray chicken pieces with olive oil spray.
Step 5
Place chicken on the grill, and cook about 2 minutes. Turn, and cook 2 minutes more. Then arrange chicken thighs over indirect heat, and cook until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 35 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
