Marinade recipes for chicken?!
Moderate difficulty recipes would be good. I'm not afraid of a challenge but I need something that isn't too time consuming and that doesn't require too many different ingredients.
Answers: I'm trying to clear out my freezer and I have a load of chicken thighs/legs that I have to cook. I'm look for marinade and sauce ideas. I'm a big fan of Indian food so I would especially appreciate recipes along that kind of theme, in particular something like tandoori chicken.

Italian Dressing is a great marinade!!!!!!!!!
Italian dressing is simple and easy. I know it is not Indian, but it is still a good marinade.
Go to Rachel Ray.com! look for Chicken under a brick! OMG it is awesome! I have made it and it was a big hit for my man!
1 (4 to 4 1/2 pound) chicken, cut into 8 pieces, skin removed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped white onion
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
2 tablespoons chopped ginger
1 teaspoon finely chopped serrano or jalapeno pepper, stem and seeds removed
1 tablespoon paprika
11/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
With a fork, prick holes in the chicken pieces. Using a knife, cut diagonal slices 1-inch apart, and 1/2-inch deep into the larger pieces. Place the chicken in a baking dish.
In a blender, combine the oil, onion, garlic, ginger, pepper, and process on high speed to a paste. Add the paprika, salt, cumin, turmeric, coriander, garam masala, and cayenne, and process until well blended. Add the yogurt and lemon juice, and process to a smooth sauce, scraping down the sides to combine all the ingredients. Pour the marinade over the chicken. Turn to coat evenly, rubbing the marinade into the holes and slits. Cover tightly with plastic wrap, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, and up to 24 hours, turning occasionally.
Preheat a grill.
Remove the chicken from the marinade. Place on the grill and cook for 8 to 10 minutes on the first side. Turn, baste as needed, and cook on the second side for 8 to 10 minutes. Turn and continue cooking, as necessary until the chicken is cooked through, but still tender, about 25 to 30 minutes. (Alternately, bake in a preheated 425 degrees F oven on a baking sheet for 35 minutes.)

Kens makes an awesome terriyaki marinade!!!! Its delicious on chicken and pork. Reheat the reserved marinade and use as a dipping sauce.
Im sorry but i dont have any Indian ideas..But i love to marinate chicken overnight or during the day in italian dressing! Its sooo simple and awesome!!! The chicken turns out very tender and juicy and full of flavor, mmmm mmmmm!!!!
I use about a cup of soy sauce for a package of thighs, with about 1 - 2 tbsp of fresh ground ginger, about 1-2 tbsp of yellow mustard, some garlic (salt or about one clove sliced) and a little pepper. Leave in for at least 2 hours or overnight is even better.
I marinate right in the baking pan so you can use the marinate while cooking. Cook the chicken at 375* until done (depends on the type of chicken).
just replace with chicken:
