Leeky Tandoor Chicken

Zoe set me up with some of her fine leeks a while back and I came up with a pretty tasty application.  
 
Chopped up the leeks into one inch sections after cleaning and gave them a quick saute with some marsala curry powder (or whatever) and a bit of olive oil.  Then I stuffed the chicken with them and gave the chicken liberal coating of tandoori paste and baked with potatoes.  The leaks steam themselves inside the chicken and impart a nice flavor and it helps keep it moist.
 
Now you might not want to eat all those leeks along with your chicken on the first go around, but I always make a soup from the left overs so when you go to simmer up the bones just throw all those leeks in and you've got a great soup base.  Then add carrots, celery, or whatever veggies (maybe noodles or rice) you've got and you'll have a great curry flavored chicken soup!
Now thats Leeky!
