Welcome to CookingAI’s Tandoori Chicken recipe! This classic Indian dish is a great way to impress family and friends with a healthier, flavorful and satisfying dinner.
Start by prepping the chicken – pat 4 chicken legs and 4 chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
Create the marinade: combine 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1-2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger, 1 teaspoon of garlic paste, 1 teaspoon garam masala, 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, a pinch of salt, and 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice in a bowl.
Coat the chicken with the marinade and let it sit in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours.
When ready to prepare, preheat your oven to 425°F. Place the chicken and a few slices of lemon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 30 minutes or until fully cooked.
Serve the chicken over a bed of basmati rice with your favorite side dishes such as steamed asparagus or sautéed spinach.
Enjoy your delicious Tandoori Chicken!
