Tandoori-Style Barbecue Chicken

Tandoori-style marinade together with the smokiness of a barbecue (MUST BE WOOD COALS) lends an irresistible flavour to chicken. After trying many tandoori marinades and spice rubs, this one satisfies my taste buds and judging by the speed at which it disappears, also those of friends and family. Excellent when served with naan. Preparation time does not include marinating.
