Juicy Chicken Tandoori Recipe Without Yogurt

extra virgin olive oil

cayenne

coriander powder

cumin

garam masala

paprika

turmeric powder

coconut milk or 1.5 cups dairy-free yogurt

lemon juice

garlic (minced)

ginger

sea salt

black pepper (to taste)

chicken

lemon wedges

cilantro

Optional: Heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add all the spices (through turmeric) and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Let cool completely.

In a bowl, whisk together coconut milk or yogurt with oil and spices. Stir in garlic, ginger, lemon, salt, and pepper.

Using a sharp knife, cut deep slashes to the bone in 2-3 places on each piece of chicken. Coat in marinade. Cover and chill at least 3 hours or overnight up to 24 hours.

When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 350° F and line a baking sheet with foil. Transfer chicken to a baking sheet, reserving excess marinade.

Bake for 20 minutes then generously brush on extra marinade. Bake another 10 minutes, remove, and generously brush on more marinade. Bake a final 10-15 minutes or until chicken is cooked all the way through.

Let cool for a few minutes. Serve chicken with lemon wedges and cilantro.

To Oven Bake:

Pre-heat the grill on medium-high until it&#039;s hot. Place the chicken on the grill.

Allow the chicken to cook with the grill closed. Flip every 5-10 minutes and brush with the marinade each time.

Cook for a total of about 30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F-185°F.

Remove from the grill and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.

To Grill:

This recipe looks amazing, I can't wait to try it! I have alpha gal syndrome so I've been looking for new chicken dishes!

Could you hypothetically cook the chicken along with the marinade (like in a baking dish instead) so there's lots of sauce left I could put over rice?

I added a little more cayenne to make it spicier and it's soooo good!

I'm so excited to make this! Definitely going on my "to make" list!

I just made this and it's incredible! I marinated it overnight and the flavors were great!
