    For my first time having grits I really enjoyed this recipe. Next time I will cut the onion down, great base for many thoughts, like change the cheese and chives. The chicken was scrumptious, we didn't have left overs. My husbands words were "Daddy likes", I had to chuckle to myself. Thanks Aaron, daddy was happy.

    Absolutely superb! The ingredients are far less than some other recipes that I have come across and many of my friends found this in great comparison to going to an Indian restaurant.

    This recipe is great and extremely easy to make. I had been looking for a tandoori chicken recipe for a long time. Most seemed very complicated and/or involved so many ingredients. This recipe is easy, only uses a minimum number of ingredients and tastes like tandoori chicken you would get at an Indian restaurant. I've become a fan of this chef!

    This recipe is a real crowd pleaser. The flavor is great and I already had everything except for the Ginger root and Greek Yogurt. After reading some of the other reviews I decided to juice half a lemon instead of a whole so it wasn't too citrusy. My wife already wants me to make it again this weekend.

    This was great chicken. Didn't grill it, actually made it in the oven and I didn't have yogurt so I used sour cream. The sauce was "ugly" but tasted great. I have to agree with the comments below that the lemon was a little overpowering, so I am going to be using less of that. We love spicy so this was a perfect blend of spicy for us.

    I made this recipe with boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the oven. The combination of spices definitely works as the tandoori coating had good flavor, but I thought it was a bit too thick. Next time I may add a little chicken stock and cut back a little on the yogurt for a slightly thinner sauce.

    I made the chicken last weekend and it was a hit!!! I will be making it again today. And going forward the concept of using greek yogurt to marinate the chicken I will use again with different spices as well. It makes the moistest chicken on the grill!!!

    I agree the lemon juice was a little strong, & I even used less than I wanted to. This next time I'm using even less lemon juice & less paprika because it was a little too spicy, BUT my very picky daughters LOVED IT!!! I also used skinless boneless chicken breast & it still was fabulous! I didn't make the grits but the chicken recipe is a keeper for us!
    Also it's very easy cleanup which is a BIG plus for me!
