Somebody always makes this Tandoori chicken when I have a gathering with other Indians. There are varieties of Tandoori chicken such as dry ones and the others with plenty of sauce.

・It will be moist and delicious if you use drumsticks.
・It is acceptable to marinate just overnight, but it will be better if you marinate for 1 to 2 days.
・With close friends and family, enjoy the drumsticks with your hands. That's the best way to enjoy it! Recipe by Plabar
