Hi Look for Jamies Empire chicken. That is the closest to the Tandoori Whole chicken and looks delicious

Does anybody know the recipe for the JO's whole tandoori chicken. I found it in a magazine some time ago, and have been making it over and over again - SO delicious! I am devastated, because I have lost it, and am desperate to find it somehow. I have searched online, but it is nowhere to be found... Anybody could help?... The ingredients for the tandoori chicken pieces above are not exactly the same as for the whole chicken - I know some are missing, but i can't remember which ones... Please help! Thanks....

I have made this recipe 5 times over the last year and every time it has been absolutely delicious! VERY Very simple to make and as good or better than any other Tandoori Chicken I have tried. Thanks :-)

This recipe plus all of Jamie's products are excellent, i have two daughters who would never eat spaghetti bolognaise or pasta until Jamie brought out his own brands of these products now they have no problem eating it, and neither have I, I think they are absolutely gorgeous
