Very flavorful, low fat & slightly spicy hot. Of course, I love hot food, so to some, it may be more "medium hot". I only marinated mine for about 45 minutes. Next time, I will marinate it for a few hours to soak up more of that great flavor. Definitely will have again!

Very good but not a 5 star

This was a nice dish. I ended up grilling mine on our foreman since its still too cold out here, but it turned out wonderfully juicy and flavorful. It tastes "spicy" as most indian dishes do, but also very complex. You can taste hints of all the different spices rather than one standing out too much. I marinated ours most of the day. It comes out a lovely yellowish color that is sure to brighten any plate!

Excellent Indian Chicken! I loved the blending of the flavors. I marinated for about 6 hours so it had a chance to permeate the meat. Served with Indian rice and some Naan it was a great Indian dinner that my DH and I loved!
