These Tandoori Grilled Chicken are so moist and tasty. They are marinated in yogurt and spices. Three years back, My son brought a couple of his friends to our home and I prepared this dish as a starter! They all loved the dish and they couldn’t stop with just eating one piece! From that day I started cooking this amazing dish and it’s very easy to cook as well! So I thought I would share it with you all!

Tandoori Grilled Chicken

Tandoor chicken is a chicken dish prepared by roasting chicken marinated in yogurt and spices in a Tandoor, a cylindrical clay oven. But now it is prepared easily in the electric grill oven. This tandoori grilled chicken is very popular in the Northen parts of India. In restaurants, they served this tandoori chicken with mint chutney along with lime and onion wedges. You can also serve this dish with naan or any pulao. Tandoori grilled chicken is spicy but not hot. Your kids also love this dish very much.

Furthermore, I would like to share some of my suggestions for making perfect tandoori grilled chicken. Firstly, this chicken is best marinated overnight but if you are in a time crunch, a few hours will do just fine. If you want your tandoori grilled chicken to be the deep red shade you find at Indian restaurants, then add few drops of red food color in the 2nd marination bowl. But in this recipe I did not use the food color instead, I used chili oil while cooking. One more thing, because of health consciousness, I removed the chicken skin but If you want you can cook with skin.

You can also use the store-bought readymade tandoori masala. But I never recommend this masala. Because all the ingredients that I have used will be present in most Indian kitchen. So try this homemade masala. Furthermore, I didn’t use any food color and butter. Finally, adjust the grilling time based on your oven. So keep an eye on your chicken all the time because it might get charred if you overcooked it!

Prep Time 03:35 Cook Time 00:33 Total Time 04:08 Ingredients

3 whole chicken leg with thigh pieces (Without Skin) For First Marination
1 tsp red chili powder.
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp olive oil.
1/2 tsp salt. For Second Marination
3 tbsp fresh yogurt. ( I used low fat yogurt)
1&1/2 tsp ginger and garlic paste.
1 tsp red chili powder.
1/2 tsp coriander powder.
1/4 tsp turmeric powder.
2 tbsp olive oil.
1/2 tsp garam masala powder.
1 tbsp fresh lime juice.
1 tsp crushed kasoori methi / dried fenugreek leaves.
1/4 tsp salt Oil For Brushing
1 tsp oil
1/2 tsp red chili powder Instructions
Wash chicken pieces and pat dry and then make three slits on the pieces randomly.
This step increases the surface area of the chicken, so the marinade can penetrate the meat.
Add all the ingredients given under 'First Marination'except the chicken in one wide bowl, mix well until combined.
Then place the chicken pieces, mix well and set aside for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix all the ingredients given under the 'second marination' in a wide bowl until incorporated and keep it aside.
After 30 mins of the first marination, take the chicken pieces and place them in the second marination bowl, toss well and set aside for more than 3 hours or overnight.
Preheat the oven to grill mode for at least 15 mins. then place the aluminum foil on the baking tray. Take the chicken pieces, let the extra marinade drip off the chicken into the bowl.
Then place them on the baking tray with enough space in between them.
By using the cooking brush grease the chili oil on the chicken pieces.
Grill the chicken for 20 mins.
Then flip the chicken pieces, repeat brushing the chili oil and again grill for 10 mins. until the chicken is cooked.
Again flip the chicken pieces and grill for 3 minutes.
