Potluck Dishes That Scream "Summer!"

It's hard to come up with a more versatile summer potluck item than roast chicken, since it's delicious hot, at room temperature or even cold. Plus, it's one of those uncomplicated entrees that feels at once familiar and special—and this version hits both notes beautifully. A tandoori chicken, it gets its spice from a blend of cumin seeds, sweet and smoked paprikas, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, peppercorns, salt and red pepper flakes. You simply marinate drumsticks, thighs, breasts and wings in yogurt mixed with the aforementioned spices; and roast.
