Summertime BBQ

[SunnySide]

I usually try to grill/roast something on Sundays. Got football on etc

This Sunday grilled some tandoori chicken thighs I had marinated over night. Lots of spices and herbs, can get a bit expensive but its worth it as it tastes like good indian restaurant quality.

I was worried the marinade coating might burn before the chicken was done so I tried to keep the coals in check by keeping the cover on and not get a lot of flames ..even though I wanted some of that beautiful charcoal char on there. I went all tender foot on the grill.

What I learned .... do not worry about a tandoori style marinade burning .. its not sugar based. Next time I am going to go hot and hard with the flames and get a good grill looking char on both sides for about 3 mins each side ... then put the lid on, kill the coals a good bit and let the smoke flavor seep in.
