Recipe Instructions

  1. 1

    Clean the chicken and make incisions so the marinade can penetrate.

  2. 2

    Mix yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, and tandoori masala, salt, and red chili powder in a bowl.

  3. 3

    Coat the chicken evenly with the marinade mixture. Let it marinade in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

  4. 4

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  5. 5

    Place the chicken on a grill rack or a baking tray and cook for about 30 minutes, then flip the chicken and cook for another 15 minutes.

  6. 6

    Increase the oven temperature to broil, and broil the chicken for 5-10 minutes to get a charred effect.

  7. 7

    Garnish with fresh cilantro and slices of lime. Serve hot with mint chutney and naan bread.
