A tandoor is a hole dug in the ground surrounded by hot coals to create an oven. And one of the most well-known chicken dishes is one that was created in this type of Indian oven. Don't worry - you don't have to dig a hole in your backyard to make this version! Serve this with Raita. It's a cool way to take the edge off the hot pepper sauce in the chicken.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups plain yogurt

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon ground coriander

1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce

8 -10 drops red food coloring

1 (2 1/2-3 lb) chicken, cut into 8 pieces

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place all the ingredients except the chicken in a medium-sized bowl; mix well. Coat the chicken with the mixture and place on a baking sheet that has been coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the juices run clear and no pink remains.
