Creating delicious Grilled Tandoori Chicken is simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, vegetable oil, garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, garam masala, turmeric, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are blended.

2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and coat them thoroughly with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably, overnight for deeper flavor.

3. Preheat the Grill: Before grilling, preheat your grill to a medium-high heat (about 375°F or 190°C).

4. Prepare for Grilling: Remove the marinated chicken from the fridge. Let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before placing it on the grill.

5. Grill the Chicken: Place the chicken pieces on the grill. Close the lid and cook for 6-8 minutes on one side until grill marks appear. Flip the chicken over and continue cooking for another 6-8 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

6. Baste While Grilling: For added flavor and moisture, you can brush the chicken with some extra marinade during grilling (ensure it’s kept separate from the marinade used for raw chicken).

7. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and allow it to rest for about 5 minutes. This will let the juices redistribute for maximum flavor.

8. Serve: Garnish the chicken with fresh cilantro and serve with lemon wedges for an extra zing.
