QUICK TANDOORI CHICKEN

0 vote

I hesitated to share this tandoori chicken recipe because it’s kind of a dollar store version. In other words, it’s pretty basic, but it does the trick.

With five ingredients and a handful of change, you’ll be able to make a great dinner in less than 30 minutes. I like to serve this with basmati rice and a salad.
