Tandoori Chicken is the most popular of all Indian barbecue dishes-exquisite to eat by itself and a starting point for many more sophisticated dishes, including Grilled Chicken Salad with Indian Spices. The bird owes its extraordinary moistness, tenderness, and flavor to a double marinade-first a tenderizing bath of lemon juice and chile powder, then a flavorful paste of ginger, garlic, saffron, and yogurt.
