Penzeys Tandoori Style Grilled Chicken Recipes

GRILLED TANDOORI CHICKEN

Steps:

• Add all ingredients to a gallon-sized ziptop bag, seal, and squish the chicken around to coat it well and evenly. Place bag in the fridge and marinate for at least 30 minutes (if you can plan ahead and marinate overnight, even better).
• Preheat grill to medium-high. Remove chicken from the bag using tongs and place it on the grill; discard the bag and extra marinade. Grill chicken on each side for about 4 to 5 minutes or until done. Because I used breast tenders, they cook very quickly, in about 8 minutes total. Large breasts will take longer to grill. After chicken is done, set aside to rest. While it rests, make the dipping sauce.
• To a small bowl, add all ingredients except cilantro, and whisk to combine. Taste, check for seasoning balance and desired consistency, and if necessary add more salt, pepper, oil, honey, etc. to taste.
• Optionally garnish the chicken with cilantro before serving it with the dipping sauce on the side. Chicken is best fresh but will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days; dipping sauce will keep airtight for up to 1 week in the fridge.

GRILLED CHICKEN {PENZEY'S} RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large baking pan, combine beer, teriyaki sauce and seasonings. Stir to combine. Wash and dry chicken and trim off any fatty bits. Add chicken wings and chicken breasts to the marinade, cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight. You can also use 2 large bowls and cover with plastic wrap. Put smoked wood chips in a pail of water and soak them for at least 2 hours before putting them on the charcoal. Wrapping loosely in foil and poking holes in the foil is an easy way to use wood chips. Grill bone-in chicken breasts over indirect heat 40 minutes, turning once. Add chicken wings for the final 25 minutes, turning once. If using boneless/skinless breasts, start them at the same time as the wings. Watch carefully, sometimes it only takes 15 minutes to cook.
