Tandoori Chicken

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. + marinating Bake: 20 min. YIELD: 6 servings.
A hand-mixed spice rub makes ordinary chicken worthy of a special occasion. Plus, it takes awhile to marinate, so you can do other things while the spicy yogurt sauce works its magic. —Dena Leigh at Amici's Catered Cuisine, Oldsmar, Florida

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt
