    This chicken dish is outstanding. I used another Tziziki recipe though. Other than that, I followed the directions exactly accept instead of grilling, I baked it at 350 for 30 minutes covered and 10 more minutes uncovered. Delicious! - 1/4/12

    This was amazing!! I started the chicken marinade and made the tzaziki sauce the night before. All I had to do when I got hoem from work was grill the chicken. I served with cous cous and some raw cut veggies, which i also dipped in the tzaziki sauce. Delicious! - 9/24/08

    This was so good. I grilled some eggplant slices (which tasted amazing with the sauce btw) and served with brown rice. I will make this again. How soon is too soon? - 11/13/09

    This is the best Tandoori chicken recipe I have tried. Not only is it healthy, but extremely flavorful. We had couscous and home made roasted bell pepper hummas to go with it and it was a huge success for the whole family. - 3/7/11

    I marinaded the chicken last night and left in the fridge overnight. I made the tzaziki sauce this morning. We grilled tonight. The author says "leftovers are great cold the next day." To that I say "what leftovers?" Wonderful! Used the Tzaziki sauce as salad dressing too. Mmmmm! - 7/18/10

    I had to bake because grill is put away for winter. I used boneless/skinless thighs. It was wonderful and the taziki sauce is one of my favorites. Always looking for different ways to do chicken and this is a keeper! - 1/8/12

    Tzaziki is great with greek peppers or rye bread. I use it as an appetiezer or a healthy snack. - 9/17/09

    So yummy! I did add less cucumber to the sauce and less yogurt to the chicken. I used whole milk and it was perfect! Add some pita bread and a salad and it turned out to be a perfect meal! - 4/25/18

    Really nice. Mine isnt red but dont think the recipe pic is genuine. Mine wasnt spicey but the spice mix was amazing. I cooked mine in the oven in a sealable oven bag chicken was so soft and fell apart. marinaded for 2 hours. Will definately use this recipe again - 8/1/17
