Tandoori Chicken Skewers
Tandoori chicken has become one of the most popular dishes in the world, especially in the UK where it is a staple of curry houses up and down the country. Tandoori is a form of cooking from the Punjab region which involves the use of a Tandoor, which is a large clay oven used for cooking breads such as roti and naan and grilling meats like lamb and chicken. Luckily you don’t need a Tandoor to cook these delicious Tandoori Chicken Skewers, which can be made using a BBQ or in a hot oven. They are perfect for sharing during BBQ season, as finger food during parties and get togethers or as a meal on their own.
