TANDOORI CHICKEN
TANDOORI CHICKEN RECIPE
INGREDIENTS
1kg chicken cut into pieces or chicken legs and thighs
500ml plain yoghurt
2 tsp salt
2 tbsp curry powder
1 tsp ginger powder
1 tsp garlic powder
Red food colour
METHOD
STEP 1
Remove the chicken skin and make slits on the flesh for the marinade to penetrate into the chicken.
STEP 2
In a suitable bowl, add the spices and salt to the chicken and mix well with the chicken. The idea is for all the pieces to be covered with the spices.
STEP 3
Add the yoghurt and mix into the chicken, and finally add the food colour to turn it red.
STEP 4
Cover the bowl and allow the chicken to sit for about 30 minutes or if you have time, in the fridge for about 8 hours.
STEP 5
Before cooking, preheat the oven to the highest setting (250ºC).
STEP 6
Arrange the chicken on a wire rack with a tray on the bottom to catch the dripping juices then place in the hot oven.
STEP 7
After 15 minutes, check on the chicken and turn the pieces to brown on the other side.
STEP 8
When all sides have darkened, reduce the heat to 180ºC to allow the chicken to cook to the bone.
STEP 9
When done, the chicken should have dark patches from the cooking which will make the chicken have extra flavour.
Serve with rice and kachumbari!
