Instructions
Prepare the tandoori marinade by blending everything except the yogurt, food colouring and chicken in a food processor. Process until a smooth paste is formed. Blend in the yogurt and, if desired, a few drops of red food colouring.
Mix the marinade in with the chicken drumsticks and marinate in the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours.
Cook using indirect grilling on grill set to medium heat for 30 minutes or until the internal temperature reads 175-180F.
Move the chicken to be over the heat and use direct grilling for a couple minutes per side to crisp up the skin.
