- 1 1/2 cups plain yogurt
- 2 teaspoons garam masala

Rinse and pat dry chicken thighs.
In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and stir until smooth. Add thighs and make sure they are coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 to 3 hours, preferably overnight.
Set up grill for indirect cooking over medium-high heat. Oil grate when ready to start cooking. Remove chicken from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Cook 40 to 45 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 180 degrees F. Check for doneness by cutting into thigh to make sure there is no redness near bone.
NOTE INDOOR GRILLING: Prepare chicken as directed. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Roast in preheated oven on foil lined baking sheet for 30 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 180 degrees F.

I served this to company & my friend immediately asked for the recipe. They were easy and terrific. You can experiment with adding extra ingredients to change the flavor a bit (ie a bit of lime or lemon zest or juice but the basic flavor was just great. A great fun and easy company dish. Also, I only marinated from morning until evening, not overnight

I've recently taken a liking to making Indian food, and have made tandoori chicken a few times now, attempting different recipes each time. This recipe, my friends, is NOT tandoori chicken. Wow, this was really bad! I made it mostly out of curiosity to see if it was really as horrible as the reviews say - we all cook differently and honestly sometimes it's the fault of the cook...I'm just sayin. Without numerous changes, additions, etc., this is not fit to eat as "Indian food," and particularly NOT tandoori chicken! Keep looking, or do a little research and then create your own!
I completely agree with whoever said Sandra Lee has the WORST recipes on Food Network. I've learned my lesson.
