Tandoori Chicken with Herb Raita

Tandoori Chicken is a quintessential Indian barbecue recipe. Tandoor is a vertical clay oven in which meat, vegetables, and bread are cooked. Our spicy barbecue marinade (KANDOO) is perfect for your cookout parties. We have done the work, so you lather up our marinade on your meat or vegetables and grill.
