Add all ingredients to a gallon-sized ziptop bag, seal, and squish the chicken around to coat it well and evenly. Place bag in the fridge and marinate for at least 30 minutes (if you can plan ahead and marinate overnight, even better).

Preheat grill to medium-high. Remove chicken from the bag using tongs and place it on the grill; discard the bag and extra marinade. Grill chicken on each side for about 4 to 5 minutes or until done. Because I used breast tenders, they cook very quickly, in about 8 minutes total. Large breasts will take longer to grill. After chicken is done, set aside to rest. While it rests, make the dipping sauce.

To a small bowl, add all ingredients except cilantro, and whisk to combine. Taste, check for seasoning balance and desired consistency, and if necessary add more salt, pepper, oil, honey, etc. to taste.

Optionally garnish the chicken with cilantro before serving it with the dipping sauce on the side. Chicken is best fresh but will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days; dipping sauce will keep airtight for up to 1 week in the fridge.

Tandoori chicken is a popular Indian appetizer made with chicken, spices, yogurt and herbs. This recipe shows you to replicate the restaurant version at home easily.

Tandoori chicken recipe

½ kg chicken ((500 to 700 grams))

½ cup greek yogurt ((hung curd))

ginger garlic paste

tsp garam masala

tsp red chilli powder ((kashmiri

¼ tsp black pepper

coriander powder ((daniya powder))

¼ tsp salt ((taste marinade & add more))

¼ tsp Turmeric ((haldi))

tsp kasuri methi ((dried fenugreek leaves))

oil mustard

tbsp oil

tsp red chili powder

To a mixing bowl, add greek yogurt or hung curd (thick curd). If you do not have it make your own following the notes below.

Next add in ginger garlic paste, garam masala, red chili powder, salt, turmeric, kasuri methi, pepper powder and coriander powder.

Pour oil and lemon juice as well.

Mix everything well. The marinade has to be thick and not of dripping consistency. Taste it and add more salt and chili powder if needed.

Make deep gashes over the chicken and add it to the bowl.

Marinate the chicken well into the gashes.

Cover and set aside for at least 6 hours. If you reduce the marination time, chicken will not turn soft and juicy. It may not get cooked well if making on tawa.

Marinade for tandoori chicken

Preheat the oven to the highest for atleast 15 to 20 mins. In my oven it is 470 F or 240 C. For the stove method, please follow the step by step instructions above the recipe card.

Place a foil on a oven tray to collect the drippings.

Then keep a greased wired rack on the tray.

Place the chicken pieces over the wire rack.

Grill the chicken for about 15 mins.

For spicy version mix together 1 tsp red chili powder with 1 tbsp oil.

After 15 mins of grillling, baste the red chili oil over the chicken. You can also baste the left over marinade over the chicken.

Turn the chicken to the other side and baste the red chili oil or marinade.

Grill for another 6 to 10 mins or until the chicken is cooked through. You will need to adjust the timing as it depends on size of the chicken pieces.

The last 5 mins, set to broil mode. Alternately you can move the entire tray with wire rack to the top most rack for the last 5 mins. This gives the charred effect.

Brush the drippings all over the chicken. This keeps the chicken moist. You can also burn a char coal piece and place it in a small cup. Bring out the chicken tray from the oven and place the cup of char coal in the tray. Cover with a large bowl or foil. Allow it to smoke for 5 to 7 mins.

Restaurant style tandoori chicken is ready. Serve with onion and lemon wedges.&nbsp;
