Tandoori Chicken

Step 1
Gather all ingredients.

Step 2
Remove and discard skin from chicken pieces. Cut slits into meat and place into a shallow dish. Season chicken on both sides with lemon juice and salt. Let sit for 20 minutes.

Step 3
Mix yogurt, onion, garlic, garam masala, ginger, and cayenne pepper together in a medium bowl until smooth, then stir in food coloring.

Step 4
Spread yogurt mixture over chicken, cover, and refrigerate for 6 to 24 hours (the longer the better).

Step 5
When ready to cook, preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove chicken from marinade. Discard remaining marinade.

Step 6
Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink and the juices run clear. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step 7
Garnish with cilantro and lemon wedges.
