Tandoori Chicken Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, tandoori masala, cayenne pepper, and salt. Mix well to create a marinade. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or oven to a high temperature (around 200°C or 400°F). If using a grill, make sure it is well oiled.

  3. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Brush the chicken pieces with vegetable oil. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char. The internal temperature should reach 75°C (165°F).

  4. 4

    Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. Enjoy your Tandoori Chicken with naan or rice.
