Recipe - Indian style spicy grilled chicken

People get confused this appetizer with tandoori, but this is completely different. Tandoori chicken needs a special grill for that known as Tandoor and cooked in insanely high temperatures like 500 C (900 F) for 5-8 mins. But this is cooked with a regular grill and we cook at 400 to 450 F for 15 to 20 mins with slightly different seasoning.

Here is the recipe
