Chicken is a classic planking recipe, but if you’re tired of the same old, same old chicken breast recipe, here is one that’s sure to kick up your chicken game a notch or two. Tandoori chicken is widely spread in South Asia. It is a chicken dish prepared with yogurt and various spices. The Maple plank adds a hint of sweet smokiness.

Chef's Tip
Curcumin is the compound
in turmeric that gives it the
identifiable bright yellow
color. It is also known for
its many health benefits.
