Prepare the Grill

When the coals are ready, brush the rack with oil to prevent the chicken from sticking.
Cook The Tandoori Chicken
Place the chicken thighs directly over the coals for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side until seared, then move to the other side of the grill. Turn chicken, as needed to keep them from burning.Squeeze some fresh lime juice on the chicken between turns.Cook until chicken is tender and cooked through. The chicken is ready when it reaches 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer; about 20 to 30 minutes total.Remove the chicken from the grill and allow it to rest.
Prepare the Naan Bread:
While the grill is still hot, place the Naan bread on the grate directly over the coals for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side.
To Serve:
