Recipe View Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, discarding any remaining marinade. Grill the chicken for 30 to 45 minutes, turning frequently to ensure even cooking and prevent burning. The chicken is done when the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. Smaller pieces may cook faster, so keep a close eye on them. (30-45 minutes)

For a deeper smoky flavor, consider using wood chips like mesquite or hickory in your grill.
If you don't have a grill, you can bake the chicken in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 45-60 minutes, or until cooked through.
Adjust the amount of paprika to control the spiciness level.
Serve with naan bread, rice, and your favorite Indian side dishes for a complete meal.
