Yum

 New Year's Eve is just around the corner and if you're hosting a party this is a easy and fun appetizer. You can marinate these Tandoori Chicken Bites in the morning and just broil them off quickly right before the guest arrive.  They go perfectly served with a quick yogurt dipping sauce that you make ahead of time.  Your guest will love each flavorful bite.
