Grilled Tandoori Chicken

olive oil

plain yogurt, (full fat)

garlic paste

ginger paste

salt

garlic powder

turmeric

cayenne pepper

paprika

homemade garam masala

Kashmiri Chili Powder

lemon juice, (plus lemon wedges to garnish)

½ medium red onion, (roughly chopped, plus sliced onion to garnish)

chicken thighs, (drumsticks and chicken quarters)

Combine ingredients for tandoori masala in a food processor, and incorporate until smooth. Then, add it to a mixing bowl and set it aside.

Make 1-3 slits in the chicken pieces, then toss them into the bowl with the tandoori masala and chopped onion; mix to combine. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 6 hours.

Preheat the grill by setting all the burners to high heat for about 10 minutes. Turn off the rightmost burner, but maintain an overall grill temperature of 350° F | 176 ° C. Then, use a wooden grill paddle to clean the grates.

Line the chicken onto the hottest side of the grill; cook until they blister for about 5 minutes.

Flip the chicken and cook for another 4-6 minutes.

Move the chicken to the cool side of the grill (the rightmost burner) and cook for 25 minutes. Flip the chicken and continue cooking until the chicken has reached over 165° F | 73 ° C, for about 20 minutes.

Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before serving, then garnish with cilantro, red onion, lemon wedges, and raita.
