BAKED TANDOORI CHICKEN RECIPE



INGREDIENTS

• 2 whole chicken legs (drumsticks and thighs), or its equivalent, skinless, bone-in
• 1 greek yogurt (8oz – 250g)
• 1 lime
• 2 cloves garlic, smashed
• 1 tablespoon tandoori massala spice blend
• 1 coffee spoon garam masala
• A pinch of turmeric
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1-inch knob fresh ginger, peeled and grated
• Cilantro, finely chopped
• Salt and fresh cracked black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Collect lime juice in a large bowl. Add greek yogurt, salt and pepper. Stir in spices, ginger, garlic and olive oil.
2. Coat chicken with this mixture, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour minimum.
3. Preheat oven at 460°F (240°C). Transfer chicken pieces to a baking dish or oven-proof skillet and bake uncovered for 30-45 minutes, turning occasionally.
4. Turn on the broiler, and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes to char the chicken a little bit more if you want. Sprinkle with cilantro before serving.
