Notes: "Tandoori" is a traditional style of Indian cooking, over an open fire, so this chicken is great cooked on an outdoor grill. The name "Tandoori" comes from the "Tandoor" clay oven that is used for cooking in regions of India and Pakistan. This combination of chicken & spicy yogurt marinade is one of my favorites!
(The first time I made these drummettes was for a 4th of July picnic. So good, served with regular or blue cheese & bacon coleslaw.)
