Clubfoodys Tandoori Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Remove skin from chicken pieces, and cut slits into them lengthwise. Place in a shallow dish. Sprinkle both sides of chicken with salt and lemon juice. Set aside 20 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, combine yogurt, onion, garlic, ginger, garam masala, and cayenne pepper. Mix until smooth. Stir in yellow and red food coloring. Spread yogurt mixture over chicken. Cover, and refrigerate for 6 to 24 hours (the longer the better).
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium high heat, and lightly oil grate.
• Cook chicken on grill until no longer pink and juices run clear. Garnish with cilantro and lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Make small slits into chicken; set aside. In a medium bowl, add all the marinade ingredients and whisk until well incorporated. Add drumsticks and toss until well coated. Cover and transfer to the refrigerator for 24 hours.
• Preheat oven to 425ºF and lightly grease a baking sheet lined with foil. Place a rack on baking sheet and then drumsticks; reserve marinade. Lightly brush on where there are patches without marinade on. Transfer them to the preheated oven and cook for 20 minutes.
• Remove from heat, flip them over and brush on brushing marinade. Return to oven and bake for another 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165ºF. Once again remove from heat and brush on the remaining marinade.
• Turn oven to broil and cook chicken for 3 to 5 minutes or until start to darken. Remove again, flip them over and return to darken the other side.

Steps:

• For marinade, combine all ingredients except for chicken, oil and lime wedges in a food processor and purée until smooth.
• With a sharp knife, make several incisions on each chicken piece to help marinade penetrate meat. Transfer chicken to a large glass or ceramic baking dish and pour in marinade, turning chicken pieces to coat. Cover dish with plastic wrap and transfer to refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Remove chicken pieces from marinade. Transfer chicken to a roasting pan and drizzle with vegetable oil. Roast, basting occasionally, until juices run clear and meat is just cooked through, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely, then wrap and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature for at least 1 hour before serving. Serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

• Mix the lemon juice with the paprika and red onions in a large shallow dish. Slash each chicken thigh three times, then turn them in the juice and set aside for 10 mins.
• Mix all of the marinade ingredients together and pour over the chicken. Give everything a good mix, then cover and chill for at least 1 hr. This can be done up to a day in advance.
• Heat the grill. Lift the chicken pieces onto a rack over a baking tray. Brush over a little oil and grill for 8 mins on each side or until lightly charred and completely cooked through.
