Easy Tandoori Chicken Recipe

This tandoori chicken recipe is made in an ordinary oven instead of a traditional Indian tandoor oven, and achieves the same effect. This indian recipe is a healthy way of cooking chicken and can be used in wraps, pizza toppings, or eaten with naan bread or rice. The main ingredient that gives the tandoori chicken it's bright yellow colour is tandoori food colouring, though the use of this ingredient is optional. As an alternative to preparing the spice mixture (or "masala") yourself, it can be readily purchased at most supermarkets, in the Indian foods section, either in powder or paste form.
