Authentic Tandoori Chicken in Oven

Step 1

Add all tandoori chicken ingredients (except chicken) in a medium bowl and mix well. Add chicken and toss around, to coat well with the marinade. Cover bowl with a plastic wrap and let marinade in refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Step 2

Position an oven rack about 6 inches from heat element and turn on broil.

Step 3

Place a oven-safe wire rack on a baking sheet ( this will allow all excess moisture drip down) and place chicken thighs on the wire rack. Place baking sheet in the oven (6-inches from heat element) and broil for about 20 minutes, until slightly charred and cooked. (Alternatively, you can cook chicken on an outdoor grill - refer notes)

Step 4

Remove baking sheet from oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
