Tandoori Chicken recipe|| Juice, succulent grilled chicken full of flavors

Tandoori Chicken is a chicken dish prepared by roasting chicken by marinating in yoghurt and spices and cooking in a cyslindrical clay oven called Tandoor. This dish originated from the Indian subcontinent and is popular in different parts of the world.

I think it needs no introduction,how it tastes or what goes best with it.

But tandoor is not always available inabll homes. It is not common,but still we can enjoy juicy Tandoori chicken at home.

We can make it in microwave or OTG or conventional oven.

For the second marination-in a bowl whisk rest of the ingredients
Add all the marination to the chicken
Message properly
Keep in refrigerator for at least 2 hours
For best result go for whole night
Line up a baking tray with aluminum foil and prick it so that all the excess water,which the chicken will leave will drain out
Below your baking rack put a tray 1/3 rd filled with water,it will keep the chicken succulent and juicy
Now bake in a preheated 425F for 20 minutes on one side
Then flip and brush some butter and if any marination left and then again bake for 20 minutes on another side
Now change the mode to grill and grill on high for 4 minutes on one side
After 4 minutes flip and again grill for more 4 minutes and its done

If you want you can add red or orange food color but artificial things should be avoided for the sake of health

If you don’t have a conventional oven then you can try this method with OTG or microwave

Take the chicken shallow fry for 10 minutes

Put in the oven at in micro at high for 8 minutes,the go to convection mode and preheat to 180C and grill for 20-25 minutes and check in between
