Tandoori Chicken (grilled chicken)

Tandoori chicken is highly popular Indian dish consisting of roasted chicken, yogurt, and spices. Best thing about this recipe is its very easy to make.


Ingredients

  • 8 chicken leg quarters, cut into 2 pieces
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons  garlic paste
  • 2 tablespoons ginger paste
  • 1 tablespoon chilli powder
  • 11/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon tumeric
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Directions

With a fork, prick holes in the chicken pieces, this helps the chicken to get flavors inside. In a blender put all the spices, ginger, garlic, yogurt and lemon juice, and process to a smooth paste.

Pour the marinade over the chicken peices. Turn to coat evenly, rubbing the marinade into the holes and slits.

 

Cover and refrigerate for  6- 8hrs hours, I usually marinade it the previous night.

Preheat a grill.

Place the chicken on the grill, I like to use aluminium sheet as it prevents the chicken from sticking.

Turn, baste as needed, and cook . Turn and continue cooking, as necessary until the chicken is cooked through, but still tender,30 45  mins.

(if you are baking it in owen,  preheated 400 degrees F oven on a baking sheet for 40 minutes.)
