I used a bag of leg quarters & cut apart to end up with 6 thighs & 6 legs. There was plenty of marinade for this amount of chicken. This was an easy to use & mild version of tandoori chicken. Pleasant flavor and mustard yellow in color after marinating the full 24 hours. I might cut back on the tumeric slightly next time. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

I am a happily almost divorced mother of 3 grown adults and grandmother of 6 beautiful children. I really enjoy cooking but I hate it when I cook something different and no one likes it so I'm very picky with my recipes. I'm very sensitive to criticism, but I'm working on that and using it constructively so that I won't make the same mistakes anymore, LOL! My hobbies besides cooking are traveling to the beach, reading and surfing the net for new recipes which is how I found Recipezarr. Since being on this site, I very seldom venture to any other. Well, who would need to? LOL!
