Beware, the nutritional information provided with this recipe is per thigh and NOT per serving (2 chicken thighs).

Good, ez. I added 1t paprika and recommend that tweak to the marinade. I actually prefer the June 2012 boneless chicken tandori kebab recipe, however. See my review of that.

I was very pleased with the amount of flavor this marinade packed. Even though our five year-old proclaimed her serving 'too spicy,' meaning hot, she ate the whole thing. I also left the marinade on, which caused excessive charring. I wish I'd shaken the thighs in the bag at least a bit. Fantastic recipe. You can read my full review at: http://bit.ly/Jx1h7W

This was fantastic. I didn't have ground red pepper, so I used cayenne pepper instead. It worked wonderfully. If you do not like spicy, I would use less than 1 tsp. I also didn't scrape off all of the marinade. I think leaving some on added tot he flavor on the BBQ. It was easy to make and a huge hit. Def recommend. I only wish I was able to do something with the marinade afterward. I hate throwing things away. Am going to think something up for the next time I make this.
