            Tandoori Chicken



Here's a recipe for tandoori chicken:

Ingredients:

  • 1 whole chicken, cut into 8-10 pieces
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 tbsp ginger paste
  • 1 tbsp garlic paste
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp red chili powder
  • 1 tbsp garam masala powder
  • 1 tbsp cumin powder
  • 1 tbsp coriander powder
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper powder
  • 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 2-3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • Chopped coriander leaves and lemon wedges for garnish

Instructions:

1.     Wash the chicken pieces and make 2-3 deep slits on each piece to allow the marinade to penetrate.

2.     In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, ginger paste, garlic paste, lemon juice, paprika, red chili powder, garam masala powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, black pepper powder, salt, and vegetable oil. Mix well.

3.     Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and mix well to coat them thoroughly with the marinade.

4.     Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

5.     Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with foil.

6.     Arrange the chicken pieces on the baking tray, leaving some space between them.

7.     Bake the chicken for 25-30 minutes, turning the pieces over halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is slightly charred and crispy.

8.     Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and lemon wedges and serve hot with mint chutney or raita.

Enjoy your delicious tandoori chicken!
