    Hear that? It's the sound of thousands of Aussie barbecues getting warmed up in preparation for summer. But regardless of the weather, there's nothing like the fiery, fresh taste of tandoori chicken.

    Pop them on the barbie or get them sizzling on a char-grill pan. These easy skewers are a great dish when unexpected guests drop round. Cook in advance and eat cold at a picnic. You can even experiment by alternating some of the chicken for chunks of roast capsicum and onion.

  • Would you rather: Eat cautiously or try everything?

    By Kellie Bright on Fri, 22/07/2011 - 10:37am, 0 comments
