Here you go, add lemon juice or squeeze.

Well, i like to cook so i prepare all my lunches for the week at home on sundays. (We cook dinners too, but more flexible there)

I make a tandoori chicken drumsticks. this is the powder mix I have: http://www.curryfrenzy.com/curry/recipes/Tandoori-Powder.html

There is also this(for the lazy): http://www.amazon.com/Shan-Chicken-Tikka-BBQ-Masala/dp/B000MSS6C4/ref=pd_sbs_gro_2 , but i don't know the macro's on that.

(also buy this: http://www.ishopindian.com/shan-meat-tenderizer-pr-23637.html , it's basically roasted ground pomegrante seeds)
so the recipe for that is:

(Serves 12 drumsticks)
Take your thawed chicken drumsticks and strip off the skin. (You could actually make a crispy chicken skin w/ this, which is something i'm experimenting with).

Make cuts in the thickest part of the drumstick and make sure the cut is down the bone. Use a SMALL amount of the meat tenderizer powder 1/2 teaspoon.

Rub in very well, making sure to get the powder inside the drumstick and along the bone.

Let sit for about 20-30 minutes. Not too long or else the meat will turn almost... gooey.

Afterwards mix in:
3 tablespoons of tandoori powder (you might need to add more chili powder here, I usually do, but i'm indian and we like spicy :) )
2 cups of yogurt
8 tablespoons of lemon juice (be cautious here, I like my chicken rather tart, you might not, experimentation is KEY :P )
2 tablespoons of oil, i prefer sesame for the flavor/smell.
salt to taste, for this amount I'd say about 1 tablespoon will be sufficient, if it's not part of the mix (not sure about the shan mix, but my mix above doesn't have salt).

Let sit for 30 minutes. (btw, if you want you could mix all the powders & liquids at once and let sit for 45 min. I find it slightly changes the taste though as the tenderizer doesn't have room/space to do it's magic)

take a baking pan and line it with aluminum foil (for easy cleaning).
but a elevated cooking rack on top. put the chicken on the rack so the grease/fat & juices drip into the pan below.

pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.

throw in the oven for 20 minutes, flip the chicken over at the 1/2-way mark.
Remove, let cool for a couple minutes and enjoy.

The chicken you make won't quite look like what you get at a restaurant, but it'll taste at least as good. (they use a tandoori oven, which is a kind of horizontal grill, so the outside of the meat caramelizes & burns way better. i think they use some kinda food coloring too, cause those are super-bright red)
