I guess i could post the recipe so that people know what i'm talking about
Tandori Chicken
1 chicken, cut up, skin removed
Marinade 1
1 1/2 tsp cayenne
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
Marinade 2
1 1/2 cups plain yogurt
1/4 tsp saffron threads
3 tbsp warm water
8 cloves garlic, peeled
2 inches fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tsp Garam Masala
2 drops orange food coloring
1. Place the dry ingredients for Marinade 1 in a bowl and stir to mix. Rinse the cut up, skinned chicken, pat dry with paper towels, and place the pieces in a glass baking dish. Sprinkle the cayenne mixture on both sides of the chicken pieces, patting it in with your fingers. Pour the lemon juice over the chicken and flip a couple times to coat. Let marinate for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, make the 2nd marinade.
2. Crush the saffron and place it in a small bowl with the warm water. Let sit for 2-3 minutes. Combine this mixture in a blender with the garlic and ginger and process to a smooth paste. Add more water if necessary. Combine this with the rest of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir well.
3. Drain chicken from marinade #1 and submerge the pieces in the bowl containing marinade #2. Marinate 4 - 48 hours.
4. Drain the chicken from the marinade and grill, flipping regularly. While cooking, baste the chicken with butter periodically. When cooked through remove from heat and serve.
--note: i left out many steps that make the recipe more of a pain because i find them unnecessary
