# # # Chicken Tandoori Recipe

# # # # Ingredients

**For the Marinade:**
- 500g chicken (preferably bone-in pieces like thighs and drumsticks)
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or ghee
- 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 tablespoon garam masala
- 1 tablespoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (for color, optional)
- Fresh coriander leaves, for garnish
- Lemon wedges, for serving

# # # Instructions

# # # # 1. Prepare the Chicken:
- Make deep cuts in the chicken pieces. This allows the marinade to pe*****te better, ensuring more flavor.

# # # # 2. Marinate the Chicken:
- In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, vegetable oil, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, ground coriander, cumin powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
- Mix well to create a smooth marinade.
- Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least **4 hours**, preferably overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and tenderize the chicken.

# # # # 3. Preheat the Oven or Grill:
- **For Oven:** Preheat your oven to **220°C (425°F)**. Line a baking tray with aluminum foil for easier cleanup and place a wire rack on top.
- **For Grill:** Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

# # # # 4. Cook the Chicken:
- **For Oven:** Place the marinated chicken pieces on the wire rack. Bake for **25-30 minutes**, turning halfway through. Broil for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end to get a charred effect.

- **For Grill:** Place the marinated chicken directly on the grill. Grill for about **15-20 minutes**, turning occasionally until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char.

# # # # 5. Check for Doneness:
- Ensure the chicken is cooked through (the internal temperature should reach **75°C (165°F)**). The juices should run clear when pierced.

# # # # 6. Serve:
- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve with lemon wedges. Chicken Tandoori pairs wonderfully with naan or rice and can be accompanied by a side of mint chutney or yogurt raita.

# # # Enjoy Your Chicken Tandoori!
