Ingredients
Scale
Marinade:
- 1 lb (500g) Boneless chicken thighs
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 3 garlic cloves (crushed)
- 2 tsp crushed ginger
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Garam Masala
- 2 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp ground cardamom
- ½ tsp chilli powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Combine all the marinade ingredients together and add the chicken. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
- Allow to marinade for at least 30 minutes up to 12 hours covered in the fridge. This allows the flavors to penetrate the chicken.
- Preheat the oven and the broiler (oven grill) to its hottest temperature. This replicates the intense heat of a Tandoor oven.
- Place marinated chicken, skin-side up, on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking tray or sheet pan lined with aluminum foil. This allows for even cooking and crisping.
- Place the chicken in the oven and allow to bake and broil for 20-30 minutes or until the chicken is starting to char and is cooked through. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
- Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Resting ensures juiciness and tenderness.
