  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 23 minute

Ingredients

– 2 pounds chicken (legs or thighs, bone-in)
– 1 cup plain yogurt
– 2 tablespoons lemon juice
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
– 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
– 2 teaspoons ground cumin
– 2 teaspoons ground coriander
– 2 teaspoons paprika
– 1 teaspoon turmeric
– 1 teaspoon garam masala
– 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
– 1 teaspoon salt
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish
– Lemon wedges, for serving


Instructions

Creating Grilled Spicy Tandoori Chicken can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, vegetable oil, garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, garam masala, cayenne pepper, and salt. Mix until smooth.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best results).
3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, prepare the coals for direct grilling.
4. Prepare the Grill: Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
5. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Place the chicken on the grill. Cook for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken has a nice char.
6. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
7. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
