Ingredients for Tandoori chicken Recipe

  • 3/4 Tbsp Vegetable oil
  • 1/4 Tsp Ground coriander
  • 1/4 Tsp Ground cumin
  • 1/4 Tsp Ground turmeric
  • 1/4 Tsp Cayenne
  • 1/4 Tbsp Garam masala
  • 1/4 Tbsp sweet (not hot) paprika
  • 1/4 cup plain yogurt (can sub buttermilk)
  • 1/2 Tbsp Lemon juice
  • 1 Pieces arlic cloves
  • 1/2 Tbsp Minced fresh ginger
  • 1/4 Tsp Salt
  • 1 Pieces whole chicken leg quarters (drumsticks and thighs)

Directions: Tandoori Chicken Recipe

  • STEP 1.Heat the oil in a small pan over medium heat, then cook the coriander, cumin, turmeric, cayenne, garam masala and paprika, stirring often, until fragrant (approximately 2-3 minutes). Let cool completely.
  • STEP 2.Whisk the cooled spice-oil mixture into the yogurt, then mix in the lemon juice, garlic, salt and ginger.
  • STEP 3.Cut deep slashes (to the bone) in 3-4 places on the leg/thigh pieces. Just make 2-3 cuts if you are using separate drumsticks and thighs. Coat the chicken in the marinade, cover and chill for at least an hour (preferably 6 hours), no more than 8 hours.
  • STEP 4.Take the chicken out of the marinade and shake off the excess. You want the chicken coated, but not gloppy.
  • STEP 5.Put the chicken pieces on the hot side of the grill and cover. Cook 2-3 minutes before checking.
  • STEP 6.Turn the chicken so it is brown (even a little bit charred) on all sides
  • STEP 7.Move chicken to the cool side of the grill. Cover and cook for at least 20 minutes, up to 40 minutes (or longer) depending on the size of the chicken and the temperature of the grill. The chicken is done when its juices run clear.
  • STEP 8.Let it rest for at least 5 minutes before serving. It’s also great at room temperature or even cold the next day.
  • STEP 9.Serve with naan, and Indian flatbread, or with Indian style rice, with yogurt-based raita on the side.
