I finally succeeded in recreating the taste of tandoori chicken from an Indian curry shop, after many attempts.

[Preparing the chicken]
Remove yellow fat from chicken. Pierce into the skin with a fork. Cut a shallow lattice pattern into chicken to help cook evenly. If you are using chicken breast, cut into it diagonally and then pound. This makes the chicken flatter and thus easier to cook and more tender. Recipe by Puriman
